We were given the honor of knowing Peggy through our mutual children’s marriage.   The last time we all  were together we  reminisced  about the “golden oldies”,  Bobby Rydell , Wildwood NJ , American Bandstand, etc.  which were all happily related to Peggy and Tom’s second home at the Jersey shore.  Peggy and Tom had a “story book”  marriage ,  which many wish for, but unfortunately never achieve.   I know Peggy will be immensely remembered  for her incredible love of family which included her children , grandchildren , siblings, nieces, nephews, friends, etc.  Peggy  embodied such strength, integrity, compassion and passionate life values which will be embedded in our hearts and souls forever.      Cindy and Randy Rapp

I was just looking at old pictures, and there was beautiful Peggy sitting in my house on Dewey Street where we were having a wedding shower.  She had such a pleasant smile and her internal beauty would radiate through that smile. So sorry to the Dever Family for this devastating loss.  Rest in Peace, Peggy.

So sorry to hear of the death of your wife and mother. I remember her always being so friendly when I was  growing up in SWP.

Dear Tom, 
On behalf of my family,  we’re deeply sorry for your loss. Your presence in our thoughts and prayers is beyond your imagination. May your mother rest in peace, in God’s embrace. May her spirit lives through her daughters and sons. May the Lord bless you in this time of need as “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
From your friend Lyna Khelifi.
