Mijn nicht Peggy Lou de Boer is na een slopende ziekte overleden, ik en mijn onlangs overleden vrouw Marga bewaren zeer goede herinneringen aan Peggy Lou.
Peggy en Rod kwamen vaak bij ons slapen als beide in Nederland verbleven, beide waren altijd vol humor en vulden elkaar geweldig aan.
De vergelijking tussen hoe Marga en Peggy hun ziekte beleefden waren treffend, ze keken beide met een positieve blik naar de toekomst mogelijk diep in hun hart wetende dat de ziekte hun beide op den duur zou gaan inhalen.
We zullen Peggy missen maar nooit vergeten.
Sterkte Rod / Spencer en Owen

Dear Rod and Family. I was so sad when I saw that Peggy passed. Gone too soon. I have good memories of working together at the telephone company. I remember Peggy as always friendly and easy to work with. We always had some good laughs running into each other outside of work too. Treasure your memories. She will live on through all of you. With sympathy, Diane Bowers
Peggy was my team manager and I really enjoyed working with her. I have many good memories. My deepest condolences to her family and friends. Gone too soon.
I was part of the Hillside Phone Mart family with Peggy at our helm. Peggy was always an engaged boss, we all knew she cared.
I was waiting for her to join the Quilter’s Guild; now I know why that never happened. So sad to lose her at such a young age.
Deepest condolences to Rod and her sons.
Sending cndolences to the entire Duncan family.
My connection to Peggy and Duncan go back to 1993/94, Lambrick Park Preschool days where we met when my daughter Leanne and Spencer were “classmates”. Wonderful memories of a very busy but fun time in our lives.
It has been along time since I last saw Peggy but I remember her fondly. Her distinct laugh and bubbly peronality will not be forgotten.
Gone way too soon.
RIP Peggy.
Saxby Family, Rod, Deb & Leanne
My thoughts are with you, Rod and family. I have wonderful memories of our BCTel/Telus time together as colleagues. Peggy was always full of fun and an outgoing, enthusiastic person. Her life has ended for too soon and she will be greatly missed.
Our sincere condolences to the Duncan and de Boer families in this difficult time. Whether as a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, friend or coworker Peggy touched so many lives along the way. May the memories of your time together bring you comfort.
Dear Rod, Spencer, Katherine, Rhys, Abby and Owen,
We are so sorry to hear about Peggy’s recent passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

A life taken far too soon….. Rod, Spencer and Owen… I was shocked to read of the loss of your wife, Rod, and mother, Spencer and Owen.. Peggy was a wonderful, caring, thoughtful lady …always willing to help! Spencer, your mom adored you and your brother. Countless times she helped with your learning… both at home and school. She gave you courage, strength, humour, understanding, and character. No one can prepare for a time like this. Use your attributes and stay strong with the love and grace that your mom would want. I know that she will always watch over you and never a second without love and good care❣️. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with your family at this difficult time.
Deepest condolences to Rod, family, and loved ones. Peggy was an admired and valued colleague in Service BC. Her passing has shocked and saddened so many. There is a poem by Michael Josephson that is too long to post here called “What Will Matter” that captures how I think of Peggy. As the poem concludes, she chose a life that mattered.
