having known you for a few brief months, I have thought of you and the gift of your helping me see myself as a valued person. I'm a better person for having known and been blessed by your presence and honesty.
May every one who knows you, continue to carry the gifts you've shared and pass it on to others! My heart is with all your friends and family. And I thank you for sharing your precious Peggy with the world!

I served with Peggy onboard the Mellon and she was my closest friend on the boat as well. We spent every port call together checking out local sites. Her rack was right across from mine and she was always there to lend an ear. Back home in Seattle, she would cook me the most amazing meals and loved to talk about her kids.

My condolences go out to her family and I wish her fair winds and following seas.

Peggy was a stellar performer and a pleasure to work with. She always strived to be the best. She also carried that mentality with her children. Always put their needs in front of hers. She will be missed.

I had the pleasure of working with this beautiful young woman onboard the USCGC MELLON for several years. Her bright and happy smile brought many joy. Her food and preparation deserve honors for her devotion to her profession. I have been blessed for having known Peggy. Thank you for sharing her with us. She will be missed!!!

She always had a smile on her face and was a sounding block for many of us. She wouldn't hesitate to take time to listen to your issues and offer motherly advice. She will be truly missed.
