Susan and Holden….my deepest condolences to both of you. May all your wonderful memories of your Mom/Grandma keep you going. You are both in my heart and prayers.
Susan and Holden, so sorry to hear about Aunt Peggie. I know you both were the light of Aunt Peggy’s and Uncle Charley’s life. I used to call them often and they always talked about what Holden was up to, from basketball to tennis. They were so proud. Time may not actually heal all wounds but it makes them a little easier to bare. Our prayers are with you always.
Your cousin,

What a great neighbor Peggy was to all of us. She was always such a joy to be around. She was so kind to both of our boys. I will truly
miss having Peggy as a neighbor. Always had a smile on her face. What a special person she was. I will miss that smile and that wave from across the street.
Susan, I was so shocked to hear about Peggy. She was such a wonderful person….always greeted you with a big hug and smile. I know your Dad is thrilled to have her back at his side and I know they are both watching over you and Holden. I will be praying for strength and peace for you.
Love,
Sarah Blankenship
Susan,
So sorry to hear about Peggy. She was such a good neighbor and friend to all. I never saw her without a smile on her face. I know that Frank and Emily will miss her so much. Emily spoke about just talking with her Sunday night about the Carolina game. Please know that I pray for you and Holden to have peace, strength and comfort during this time.

My Aunt Peggy was such as blessing to our entire family. Her love warmed all our hearts.In good times and bad, Aunt Peggy always remained positive and full of enthusiasm and joy.
She was such a huge part of my life when I was a little girl.Along with Uncle Charley and Susan, she made some of my fondest childhood memories.Pranks, ponies, kittens, German chocolate cakes and fancy dresses- memories I will cherish forever. Aunt Peggy and I always shared a special bond and humor as the two shortest women in a very tall family. I think of Aunt Peggy and Uncle Charley and cannot help but smile through the tears.
Susan and Holden, you are in my prayers.Time and distance have long separated us, but I love you as dearly as always.
