My ‘Greatest-Aunt-Ever’ Peggy will be missed very much. She was such a wonderful example to me in the way she lived her life: always smiling, laughing, and finding the positive in everything. I thank God for Peg, the life she led, and the precious memories I have of her. I loved to make her laugh, and she loved to make me laugh too. I learned a lot about the Lord and how to be a strong Christian from Aunt Peggy. She loved to sing and play piano. I remember one year for Thanksgiving she came up to eat with my family. She saw the piano in the living room and immediately went to play it. She played and sang old Baptist Hymns and it was so beautiful. I will miss hearing her sing, it was always a treat. Aunt Peggy was a very special soul, and I feel so blessed to have known her and loved her. May God give us comfort in this difficult time.
Dear Vickie,
I’m so sorry to hear about your mom. I’m sure she is celebrating in Heaven. She was always such a joy to be around here at Macedonia. May God hold you close and may your memories be sweet. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance to you or your family.
It would be remiss of me not to express my sincere sympathy to Pam and Vickie. I remember this beautiful lady and her family so very well. Goodness! I even remember the family’s dog. Fond memories of growing up near this family on White Fawn Dr., are precious to me. Peggy Rash was fashionable on her job, as well as in the neighborhood. Peggy is now resting in the arms of her Heavenly Father.
What a sweet person. I had only known Peggy for just a short while but the 5 years I was able to know her so was a blessing. Especially to my husband Keith she will surely be missed. Peggy was like a mom to my husband and when I moved here from Ga she was the first person I met through Keith. What a loving and sweet person she was. Go rest high on that mountain.
Pam, Vickie and Family, my deepest
condolences to you and yours for the loss of your Mother.
Thinking of you in the difficult days ahead.
Pam and families, my deepest condolences to you for the loss of your mom.
To Peggy’s family,
Our deepest sympathy to all of you. She was always so sweet and kind and a wonderful person to know. She will be greatly missed but know she is in a much better place where she is free of her earthly problems. She is up there singing with the heavenly choir and with all her loved ones gone on before her. She will be missed at Mt. View. Cherish your memories.
We would like to give our most heartfelt sympathy to the Rash Family in the lose of their Mother and Grandmother.
