“Peggy was heavy on my heart this morning and to find her obituary was not only shocking, but heartbreaking. I worked with Peggy at the Department of DOE, Washington Navy Yard, DC. She was my supervisor and a very good one at that. Peggy had a heart of gold and was very caring, I was sad when she decided to retire and move out of the area. But it saddens me to see that Billy and her departed from this earth so soon. I know it's been almost 10 years but sending Prayers of Comfort to their Family and Friends. God Bless. Peggy thank you for all that you taught me in the time we worked together. ”
