My heart is broken over the
My heart is broken over the loss of Peg. She was a second mother to me and I have so many wonderful memories of the times we shared. She was dedicated to her family and would do anything for them. She was kind, loving, caring, funny and a beautiful person inside and out. I will miss everything about her. I extend my deepest sympathies to her amazing husband Paul, her loving sons, Greg, Randy and Kevin, her wonderful daughter in law's Leah and Terry (who I consider sisters), and her beautiful grandchildren, Amanda, Ashley, Rachel, Kelsey and Matthew. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Please know if you ever need anything, I am here for all of you. I consider myself lucky to have had Peg in my life. I will cherish the memories I have of her, and I will love her and miss her for the rest of my life.
What a wonderful woman. Sorry for your loss and ours.
Dear Givler Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. I (Lisa) loved spending time with Peg whenever I was able to. She taught me piano lessons, pierced my ears (the old fashion way...hahaha), and was always witty and right on target with me. Not many understood my precocious nature toward critical thinking, etc. but she got it. Even recently, she challenged me with witty comments and a relay of comeback. Bless her heart and may she rest peacefully, knowing how loved she was and still will be.
Lisa & Dave
Mimi
Mimi (Peg) will be missed very much by all her knew her. She had a special place in my heart because she was like a second mother to my daughter Terry. When Terry and Kevin announced their engagement, she presented Terry with a very special gift that made me feel better about the possibility of Terry moving so far away from me. When Terry and Kevin did move to Coatesville, Mimi was there for her during her pregnancy and graciously shared her home with me and drove me to the hospital and familiarized me with the area. She again was there for Terry during a major illness and for her and Matthew during other times of illness. Christmas at her house was a real treat and my husband and I looked forward to our visits to her home. She was a great mother and grandmother (or as Matthew insisted when he was little, "his Mimi.") We feel so blessed to have known this very special woman.
