Our thoughts and prayers are with the Schindler family and friends during this time of sorrow. May the many wonderful memories that you created and shared with Peggy provide you comfort in the days ahead. Rest in peace Peggy. You will be sorely missed by all.
To all of the Family – I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother! Sometimes, I felt like she was my Mother because, I was around her so much – beings that, I sat in the middle of the car seat with she and my Mother to and from Mother Catherine Spalding School! She was always so pleasant and smoothed over any discrepancies going on within the school! She is up in Heaven now, along side her husband and all our other loved ones! Hold all the great memories deep within your heart and she will live within you all forever! Big hugs to you all! ❤️
It was always a happy occasion when Aunt Peggy and family would visit the Schindler farm in Knoxboro, NY. Peggy and sister-in-law, Laura, would visit and reminisce with true affection. We don’t see our Schindler cousins often, but when we do, time disappears. We love you, Aunt Peggy, and we miss you. Rest in peace.
