“Peg’s friendship means more to me than anything. When I started working at St. Joe’s, I’d been laid off from a company that went bankrupt. I was making really good money at the time and was able to save a little. I was looking of another job that paid about the same but I was either over-qualified or the salary was too low. I was offered a job at the hospital working in the office next to Peg. The job paid a little less a month. I quickly went through my savings to make up the difference. I was in the Xerox room one day and I’m thinking about all these bills I had to pay and was almost crying. Peggy came up to me and asked me what was wrong. I told her that I didn’t know how I could make it until payday. Peg asked if $100 would help. She wanted to give it to me, but I borrowed it until payday. She told me I could ask her for help any time I needed it. She hardly even knew me. That was the beginning of our friendship and I have loved her ever since.” – Pauline Osborn
