Eden and Doug, I will always have such wonderful memories of your mom/wife. Peggy was a true friend and a fantastic person. Edelman will never be the same. My thoughts are with you,
Peggy will be sorely missed. She was always smiling and greeted you in passing.
Peggy was one of the sweetest and nicest people anyone could ever meet — with her bright red hair and big warm smile which greeted you every day. I may not have known her as long as others, but I will always think of her as a dear friend.
Peggy was always friendly and kind to everyone in the office. She shared her warmth, happiness and joy for life to all, just like a day at the beach. Peggy will be dearly missed.
Doug and Eden, My heart goes to you, thinking of you in these difficult times. Peggy was a joy to be with and a very gracious lady. She will be missed by everyone who knew her and remembered warmly.
Dear Doug & Eden: My deepest condolences to you. I shared many wonderful moments with Peggy. We always called each other by our last names. So “Butler” today I’m wearing the shoes you liked. I miss her very much ! Brenda Carter
Eden and Doug, I am so very sorry for your loss. While I never personally met your mom/wife, I learned through Eden what a very special and loving person she was. I hope that through this difficult time you can find a way to celebrate what a fantastic life she has lead and think of all the happy memories you shared with her to help your hearts heal. Thinking of you during this difficult time. Missy
God be with you and may he provide peace and comfort to all who grieve.

I wanted to send my sympathies to Doug and Eden. My acquaintance with Peggy was only for a short period of time but I enjoyed the time tremendously. We got to know each other thru the many emails we sent back and forth. I am truly sorry for your loss. Susan Lasky I am so sorry for your loss. Susan Laskt
Peggy was a very warm and friendly person. She was a joy to work with. I will miss our conversations on birds.
Dottie and I share your loss and pain. Please be thankful for the time you had together. It may comfort you in this time of grief.
Eden, My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Words just don’t seem to be enough at a time like this, I can not understand how someone could do such an act and not even stop. My deepest sympathy, God Bless you and all of your family and know you are thought of. I am Summer on the OBC.
Truly one of the best hearts I’ve ever known. She will be greatly missed.
I grieve the loss of a truly special person who graced this earth, and our lives, for too short a time. In her presence, we enjoyed many gifts: her warmth, humor, kindness and steadfast friendship. Dearest Peggy, you will live vividly in my memory forever.
Doug and Eden I want you both to know how much I am thinking of you and know how much Peggy will be missed by her family and friends. Fleta Argintar Schreiber
So terribly sorry for your sudden loss. I did not know Peggy or your family. I read about the story in local Outer Banks news. Prayers and thoughts go out to you all.
I have worked with Peggy for most of my adult life, first at the Rushmore Funds in Bethesda, and for the past fifteen years at Edelman Financial. Outside of our vacation time, there hasn’t been a day that we haven’t either seen each other, teased each other, or confided in each other. She was gentle and kind, and always made the days brighter. The days will be dimmer without you. I will always miss you.
At Edelman Peggy always radiated warmth,light & grace. Her friendship was an easy pleasure and will be treasured always. She will be missed dearly, and my thoughts go out to Eden & Doug.
I worked with Peggy for a short time over 10 yrs. ago, but I will always remember her friendly & fun loving manner. My most heartfelt sympathies go out to Doug & Eden. Words cannot express my sorrow for you both at this difficult time.
I am so very sorry for the tragic loss of your mother. Our mothers hold a special part in our heart, and your mom will always be there. I think you are right, being in the place she loved so much was appropriate for her last blessed days with you. Please know that you and your family will be in my prayers. God Bless and keep you close always. Your OBC friend… Liz-WV
Doug and Eden, Julie and I knew Peggy from the Thursday evening Sushi ritual. She brought with her peace, joy, calm and a snarky sense of humor that was so welcome after a hectic day. That’s how we will remember her. Peter
Eden, I’m so sorry for the tragic loss of your mother. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Remember all of those special moments you shared with her and the memories of her will help heal the loss you are feeling.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. We are so saddened by this senseless tragedy. If there is anything we can do for you, don’t hesitate to call.
Doug and Eden, Please accept our deepest condolences for the loss of a treasured wife and mother.
Eden, We are thinking of you and wishing you peace during this difficult time. Extending our deep and heartfelt sympathy to you and your family.
I am from the outer banks board you posted on. You and your family are in my prayers.
It was a pleasure to have Peggy on my team at Edelman. I will always remember her for her warm smile and kind heart. Oh, and also that she loved when spring came so she could wear her sandals and capris! She will truly be missed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. A donation to Lend-a-Paw relief organization will be sent in memory of Peggy.
Peggy was our neighbor, fellow cat lover and animal lover. Jenny and I will miss chatting with her about the wildlife in our neighborhood as well as the antics of our cats. Doug and Eden, our hearts go out to you. We will miss Peggy and our walks with Jack past your house will never be the same. God Bless you and Peggy!
As a fellow EFS Margarita Girl I will miss the birthday celebrations and the just because we need it happy hours after work. Sadly, wed all become so busy at the Edelman office, I didnt see her as much during the work day as I used to. I still look for her every time I turn a corner or walk into the kitchen. I will miss her laugh and the kind words she had to say about most everyone. Doug and Eden, my heart goes out to you both. I cant even begin to understand the void Peggys loss creates in your life. I will be praying for you.
Eden, My thoughts are with you in this difficult time. “Aunt” Laura just informed me today of this sad horrible news. I am in complete disbelief. I too go to the Outer Banks every year, and walk across that same street, in that area, and can’t even imagine this happening. I am so sorry this happened. I can only imagine what a wonderful woman your mother was, since I didn’t get to meet her. I am sure, much like yourself, she was a wonderful woman. Full of love and happiness. Everyone at the Park will be thinking of you tomorrow, and the days ahead. All my Love, Jaime
Peggy was a wonderful person. Her kind and fun nature resonated to everyone she met. My condolences her family.
I was in shock when Bob told me. Peggy was a big part of the support team.She will be greatly missed by all her Canadian friends and Family. Love Laurie, Garry and Jamie Heaslip
Doug and Eden, I am so sorry for the senseless tragedy that took the life of a wonderful wife and mother. We will greatly miss her warm and giving nature at our annual Tour de Howe in Gananoque, especially for those of us in the Support Vehicle where Peggy brought her great sense of humour and kindness. My prayers are with you…..Joan
Eden & Doug, I was devastated to her about the loss of “Mrs. Butler.” She was an exceptional person, whom I know you both loved deeply and who loved you both deeply in return; she will always live in you both. Do take care. She will be in my prayers. Sincerely, Joe
My sincere condolences to Peggy’s family. Her beautiful smile and her love of the sunshine filled days will be missed at Edelman.
Peggy was a warm and lovely lady and she will be sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends. Tom and Joy Wood
Dear Doug and Eden, I am so very sorry about Peggys tragic, premature death. My thoughts are with you both. Peggy was such a warm, caring and supportive woman. A ray of sunshine who had the strength of character to stand up for what she believed in. She will be sorely missed by all. Love, Chris
Eden, We are so very sorry for the untimely loss of your mother. Please know that you and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. Dolores, Rik, Wade and Erin
Eden, My heart aches for you and I wish there was a way to help ease your pain. May God surround, protect and carry you through these distressing times. My prayers continue to be with you and your family.
How well I remember you in those long pigtails and always wearing a smile. I’m sure I pulled them more than once.
