To Harrell, Hollie and Kayla, My heart is aching over the loss of one of my best and oldest friends. I send all my sympathy and love.
As you probably know, I have spent the last month in the hospital and Rehab and had on way of getting in touch, because I didn't even have your phone number.
I am just so so sorry. May God bless and comfort each of you. Love, Vance

God bless all of you. Remembering you in our prayers.
My sincere condolence to the Family.
One of the most difficult times in life, is dealing the loss of your loved ones. But our loving God Jehovah do not leave us without hope.
Jehovah promises that there is going to be a resurrection. Those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out. ( Acts 24 : 15; John 5 : 28,29 ) Imagine the joyous reunion when you can see your loved ones again.
It is my sincere hope that these promises bring some measure of comfort.
Peggy was such a sweet precious lady. Thoughts and prayers to all the family. May each day become a little easier knowing she isn't in pain anymore. Love you all.
I'm so glad I got to work with your mom. She was a wonderful lady and I'm blessed to be able to call her a friend. You guys are in my prayers. Love. Lucinda Baysinger

She was a beautiful person and she will be greatly missed by all that knew and loved her. Again, so very sorry.

So sad to hear this news. The family is in our thoughts and prayers. I have known Ms. Peggy since I was a little girl when my mom and I picked berries for her and Harold. I always thought she was so beautiful and such a nice lady. She will be missed here on the creek. May God carry the family in his loving arms during this sad time.
My sweet Holli, how my heart has been breaking for you these last few weeks! You have been in my prayers and my thoughts constantly! May God continue to bring you peace in your heart. Your mom has just reached her destination a little sooner than the rest of us. I know she is wishing she could tell you just how wonderful it is in Heaven and how good she feels!
You know where to find me if you need ANYTHING!
Love you!
Julie, Travis, Lily and Cullen
Peggy was one of the kindest people I've every known - always smiling with a twinkle in her eye. My prayers and thoughts continue to be with the family. Love to all of you.
