Peg was an inspiration to our family, and a daily constant in our lives as she always walked by our house, rain or shine. The first time we met her, we knew she was a special gift. Though she lived through so much, her attitude was always one of thanksgiving for what she had, not what was taken away or missing. Her incredible way of seeing only the positive in things was just amazing and truly inspirational. One never spoke to Peg without feeling uplifted afterwards. Though we only knew her these five years, she has touched us all for a lifetime. No doubt she is spreading her endless joy and smiles up there in Heaven. Sending love and bear hugs, The Henn Family

Peg has been my best friend for at least 40 years. I have had only two best friends in my life. The first was when I was a child. One is fortunate to find a truly best friend to share the good times and the bad. We met at a coffee counter in Evanston when I was laughing over reading Phyllis Dillers "House Keeping Hints". She inquired, and we shared and bonded. There are more important things in life than cleaning house. I was drawn to her because of her friendly nature, her way of reaching out to strangers, finding ways to compliment them. She was a person to emulate. We found a few like souls, and had many years of our "doll parties", doll lovers who enjoyed lunch at each others homes ond friendly chatter. Those were the days! Peg and I also loved to swim daily in the summer in Lake Michigan. In later years, we met weekly for pancakes and conversation. We shared so much in our lives. We both had sons born July 4th, and grand-daughter born the same year. She was very special! I miss her, but i am extremely grateful to have known her. She was an important part of my life. To her memory, with love, Elaine Macejak 3-18-2013

I saw Peg many mornings walking down the sidewalk with her walker. She was so sweet and kind. I would always stop running for a brief chat. I'm so sad to read of her passing. She was a wonderful woman

Thank you all so much for your kind words. It really means so much to us to hear the ways Peg affected you so positively and that she is missed. - The Blossom Family

I was reading your loving memories to your mom and was impressed with all the things she's accomplished. With your mom being born around World War 1 she has seen a lot and has seen a lot of changes to our world. I too like flowers and hats. Wouldn't it be great to see our love ones again. I'm reminded of a scripture I once read, it's found at John 5:28,29 Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tomb will hear the voice of Jesus and come out. Imagine witnessing your mother being raise from the dead to resume her love for flowers and wearing her hats. Your mom will be remembered by God and her future is in his hands. I pray for your whole family.

Peg was an inspiration to our neighborhood. We will miss her. -Stock Family

Peg joined our gourmet club and brought such a gentle light and for me specially a great friend. She shared her knowledge of gardening, healthy eating, joy of art, and gusto for life. We will miss her spirt, her driving her van, her fabulous garden tours, her sharing her flowers. There is a void in Wilmette. We miss you Peg. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Peg Blossom. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.
