I worked many years with Peggy and she was a good mentor when we were cnas together..later when I became an lpn I never had to tell her what to help with a resident…she always knew what to do.
I only had to give report and she was on her own…down the halls to check on everyone before starting any work…she was surely meant for that job…I miss her already, just knowing she won’t be around..but her spirit will be and I will never forget her.
