Dear Larry, Mike and T.J.,
I know how much you will miss Peggy. I got to know her as one of my big sister Ruth’s best friends in high school. My best memories of Peggy, though, are her smile and spirit through everything. My deepest sympathies, Sandy.

God Bless, Jill Alden, NA
May God Be with you and your family.
Larry, Michael, T.J. and family: Mom called us all the other night to let us know about Peggy. She was such an important part of our lives–all through our lives. For every family picnic up in Erie, every wedding, shower and celebration she was there cheering for us. She loved you all so much and we will miss her more than anything. Know that you are in our prayers and anything you need please don’t hesitate to call. With deepest sympathy.
To Larry, Mike and Family,
Such a brave, caring and special lady was Peggy. I have fond memories blazed in my heart of the times spent with her and the family. Heaven is being blessed by her presence! I am sure that among her welcoming committee was Lloyd with open arms and a warm hug. Be assured that some day our spirits will join them and rejoice!
May God give you strength and peace as struggle with this loss. Blessings to you!

We are very sorry to hear about Peggy’s passing. She was a great friend to our family. Whether it was a wedding, graduation party, or any other special event she was always there for us.
Even when I lived away she would always send a Christmas Card or note just to see how I was doing.
We will miss her greatly and Larry, TJ, Mike, and Lois and the rest of her family are in our prayers.

Dear Larry, Lois, and family, I am so sorry to hear about Peggy’s death. She was definitely too young for her life to be over. Since I was only a part of her young life, that’s how I’ll always remember her. We had a lot of fun together, starting with grade school at Sandycreek. She was a great friend and my thoughts and sympathy are with all of you at this unhappy time. – Ann
I was very sorry to hear through Dan and Paula Harry about all of Peggy’s health problems and her passing early January. I remember her very well from our FHS class of 1964. My condolences to her husband and family.
We are so sad to hear of Peggy’s passing. She was a dear long time friend of ours and the Fisher family.
Our Heartfelt Sympathy go out to you and your family.
We send our heart felt sympathy to your family at the passing of your loved one.

Dear Larry, Mike, T.J. and family,
Please accept my sincere sympathy on Peggy’s passing. I was surprised when Pastor Ed at Grace Church announced it Sunday.
Peggy was a truly wonderful lady! I have nothing but fond and good memories of Peggy and your family. I remember many Sunday mornings as we talked and joked as we counted the attendance and money during Sunday School. I can’t count how many times she would introduce me as the lady that rode the roller coaster with Larry!
You truly were blessed to have had her in your lives all these years. She was a cornerstone; a strong, loving lady. I will miss her but know I will get to again talk and laugh with her in heaven some day.
With love and prayers,
Dotty Finch DeMarchi

To Peggy’s family:
I was so sorry to hear about Peggy’s passing. I know she had struggled with illness for so long and it wasn’t easy. We were friends in high school but didn’t see each other after that, as I left the Franklin area and only saw Peggy again at a class reunion. She was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed. My condolences to all of you.

On behalf of the Venango County Area Agency on Aging & RSVP employees and Advisory Councils I would like to express our sincere condolences to the family of Peggy L. Tidd. Mrs. Tidd was a caring and faithful servant to Venango County and its older residents as an employee for more than 8 years, and as a volunteer as long as her health permitted after her retirement. Mrs. Tidd will be greatly missed and her family is in our thoughts and prayers.
May the example of her spirit of selfless giving remain alive and active today and always through her family and also in those of us who knew her well.
Mrs. Jones, Larry and family,
One of my greatest regrets is that I didn’t stay in touch with Peggy and Larry after they moved back to Franklin. Even though now we need to appreciate that Peggy long fight is over and she will suffer no more, I know how sad it must be for all of you. Peggy was such a strong, spiritual person and I know we’ll meet up again in that better place as will you all. I would love to visit the next time I am in Franklin, so would like very much to hear back from you. I wish you peace and comfort.
Ruth
Mike and family,
I’m so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. I have so many fond memories of her and all of us that were in the youth group at Grace United Methodist Church in Rocky Grove. What an amazing lady. She will be truly missed by so many. May she rest in peace.
