We just learned of your mother's passing. Our heartfelt condolences to all of you. As so many others have stated, she was a lovely, kind and caring women who always had a smile and a loving comment. She exuded peace and calm. I personally have wonderful memories of her attending my bridal shower the year after my own mother, Sue Seidel, passed. She and Jack attended our wedding too in 2006. And Peg was also present for my baby shower when we adopted our son Jeremy in 2011. Such a sweet lady. She will be missed!!

We are so heart broken of Peg’s passing. We have been Jack & Peg’s neighbors for 11 years. Jack was the first to welcome us on our moving in day. We so cherished every minute we spent with Peg and her family. Peg was funny, compassionate and full of stories. She shared our love of birds. Once when I remarked that her bird feeder had more birds than ours. She told me, “Don, it is not a competition.” Her entire family is so wonderful. She will be sorely missed but she left all us with such great memories and taught us all to live with compassion, dignity and humor.

My grandmother was the greatest person you would have the pleasure to meet. Strangers were instantly friends and friends were family to her. She was incredibly kind, funny, generous, and wise beyond words. Her smile lit up a room and her laugh will forever be the best sound you could ever hear. Her home was my happy place as it was for so many others who were welcomed there without a second thought. She was selfless and genuine, sweet and loving, smart, and sharp right to the very end. My memories and her words of wisdom will live on forever. They don’t make them like this anymore. I love you Gung... with all my heart.

The memories of going over to their house, the huge willow tree on the side of the house in the back.......and the kindness. The laughter of the cows on the front yard, the VW painted like the Wizard of Oz ---- and her devotion. My thoughts and prayers to all of you. A life fully lived and touched so many. Our thoughts are with you.

Having grown up next door to the Fallons, I spent a great deal of my childhood at their home, and with Peg Fallon, and enjoyed every minute of it...She was a wonderful, kind woman who was very good to myself, as well as my whole family. I have always carried fond memories of her and all of the Fallon’s throughout my life. I remember her as having been quite witty and having the best laugh!! To all of the Fallons, You are all in my thoughts and prayers ,and I am sending lot’s of love and hugs to all of you at this very difficult time..
