Peggy was a strong willed and elegant woman, who lived for her family. She loved her yearly trips to Marco Island Florida, where she could "winter" with all her lady friends. Her grandchildren and their families would like to thank the wonderful "angels" at both Dana Farber and Saint Vincent Hospital; especially Dr. Gregory Abel of Dana Farber, Dr. Nandana Kansra and Dr. Saleem Khanani of St. Vincent Hospital. The care and compassion that Peggy and the family received, will never be forgotten.
