To The Salomone Family,
I’m so sorry for the loss of your Mother, she was a dear childhood friend and long time friend to me. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Virginia Dean Young
I played golf with your Mom for a number of years and was sorry to hear about her death. You have my sympathy.
I was so glad I got to know Peggy, even if for only a short time. She was so full of life, and easy to love. Our prayers are with the family during this time of mourning.
We’re so sorry to hear about your Mom’s passing. May our Lord comfort you and grant you peace during this most difficult time.
As a member of ‘the Friday Lunch Bunch’ I have missed Peggy every week. Now we rejoice in knowing ‘that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.’ My love to her family.
In passing, this lady of a thousand smiles will be sorely missed by us here but very welcomed where she is now.
Peggy was much loved and will be much missed….she was the type of person who made the day better just by being around her….
Peggy was such a joy to be around. She was funny and kind and I really enjoyed the times I spent with her. I will miss Peggy. My sincerest condolences to her family.
I never met Mrs Salomone (I only know her through her son, Joe), but she must have been a very smart, very virtuous person to have raised two such wonderful doctors. Thankfully, her legacy will live on through her children and grandchildren.
Peggy and I were sweethearts in elementary school. For the past few years I have called her on her birthday, and I had planned to call her again on December 28 when she would have been my age of 82. Sadly, I will erase her from by calendar, but I will never erase her from my memory. Wherever you are, Peggy, I will always remember you.
Love, Sim
I knew Peggy from Bill & Johnsie Crompton, & daughter Lynne Crawford. May God give you the peace that passeth all understanding, and strength for the coming days.
Peggy was a very special person in my life for 25 years. She was such a funloving pal to be with-was always there for you no matter what. The love in her life was her family.What lucky children to have a Mom like her! My sympathy for your loss to all who loved her – especially her family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time. Peggy is with a lot of her friends right now (my mom included) and I know they must be enjoying the reunion. Peggy will always hold a special place in my heart, as she will in many others’ as well. She always wore a smile and had a twinkle in her eye.
To Joe, Cindy, Jeff, Joey and Christopher,
Our sincere sympathy goes out to all of you in the passing of Aunt Peggy. She was the bright smile of the day. She has definately been there for us during our difficult times. We loved her dearly and she will be missed very much. Love to all of you. Prayers are with you daily. I know Bill(dad),Johnsie(mom)papaw, mamaw, Aunt Ruth and Justin are welcoming her with open arms.
To Joe, Cindy, Jeff, Joe and Chris,
Aunt Peggy was a wonderful woman and I feel so honored to have called her my Aunt. Her and dad(Bill)grew very close during their senior years living beside each other. She was so happy to be near her grandchildren these past 6 months. She enjoyed living with Joe and Cindy. She was looking forward to traveling more with Jeff after her hip surgery, but now she has taken the big journey where she will live in peace and no pain forever. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Dr Salomone, so sorry for you loss. We will be praying for you and your family through these tough times.
Love
Prasad, Mary, Nathan and Stephen
