I didn't know Nancy until joining PEO. I loved her sense of humor and big smile. I will miss her!

My Mom was a phenomenal lady, which was reinforced by all her friends, co-workers and relatives at her service last night. She was the heart and soul of our family. She provided so many integral services for our family over the years. Words cannot adequately express the thanks we owe her or the love we have for her. I’m sure she’s in heaven organizing the people and pets we’ve previously lost and preparing for when each one of us will join them in eternal peace. We will miss her tremendously.

I didn’t know Mrs. Kirby but I read her obituary and learned she was among other things a Cub fan, member of P. E. O and worked at Platteville. College. My grandmother belonged to the P.E.O was a cub fan as well. My granddaughter attended Platteville College. Small world. RIP.
