Condolences
Peg Wilson
Wanted to express my most heartfelt condolences to the family during this difficult time. It has been many years since I saw Peg, but I feel a closeness to her in my relationship with Doris. It was nice to then become friends with Peg on Facebook, as if all those years didn't matter. I feel honored to have had Peg and Frank in my life for the years that I did--we started out as neighbors, only to become life long friends. I will never forget when I was pregnant with my first child and had no family in West Chester--they became my family and I was pleasantly surprised with a baby shower from Peg, Doris and Susie ..... I was so happy that I cried and I will always be grateful to them for the help they gave to me during my time of need. Peg was and always will be special to me and have a warm place in my heart. I have many fond memories of being at the pool and just loved spending time with them. Peg will be missed by so many...... I know I will miss her but am thankful that she is at peace.
Please accept my sincere
Please accept my sincere sympathies.May the love of family and friends sustain you in these difficult days. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

My sincere condolences to Doris and all of the family at this time.
Dear Becky and Doris and
Dear Becky and Doris and family members,
Our family was touched by both of your parents from the day we moved into our home next door in 1986. Your mother hung Christmas presents on the hedges between our homes for our children many times. Peg always baked us a tray of cookies and had us over for something on the grill many summer nights. Frank was a constant presence in our lives and a good companion to Emil. Peg's patience taught my four children how to swim. She will always be remembered as a gracious neighbor and a compassionate woman who ultimately rescued our barn cats and extended their lives for many years from starvation and the elements. We wish to express our deepest sympathy to your family and share in the loss of your wonderful parents. They will always be a "part of our lives and memories".
