Peggy....my aunt, my friend.... She shines on brightly in her family's hearts and lives and has inspired and empowered all those fortunate enough to be in her sphere of influence. Peggy's passion and creativity permeated everything she did. When we visited in NJ, we would talk, walk, laugh and usually paint or sketch. I didn't realize I could! Peggy always raised my confidence, awakened my creativity and spirit and pushed me (not so gently) to use and have faith in my brains and talents. What a gift! Peggy was 20 years my senior; however, she felt very much like my contemporary. She spoke very directly and openly to me (as no one ever had!)about life, love, family and "being a woman." Her sophistication amazed me! When I see her face in my mind's eye, I see a woman of such grace, elegance, beauty and authenticity. I have been so blessed that she has been part of my life! Love to all Boese siblings......Pat
