April 9, 2020 at 10:58 amThis is very sad news. My family got to know Peggy over the past few years at Andrus on Hudson. My mom Gloria Brunetto moved to Andrus in August 2018 and she and Peggy became best friends. Peggy was so kind and generous. She always had a beautiful smile on her face and she was an inspiration to the other residents. My family will never forget her and we are so blessed to have gotten to know her even if it was for such a short time. Our condolences go out to her family. We are all better for knowing her. May she rest in peace. A truly beautiful person.

April 10, 2020 at 10:22 amI have many memories of your beautiful mom. Every time I came to your home in Mahopac (which was often) she always smiled and was so welcoming. The front door went right into the kitchen which is where she was often trying to step around Thunder! She was such a good friend to my mom. I am so sorry for your loss, but I have a smile on my face thinking she is reuniting with your dad, her children, and my mom. Love to you all❤️
