My deepest sympathy to the family. Peggy was a wonderful person. Loved her dearly. Her and Uncle Charles always treated us like family. Gonna miss her.
Sweet Pea’ is celebrating in Heaven today as we morn the loss of a sweet and wonderful person. Charlie, you and Peggy enriched my life and gave me the blessing to be part of your lives. I will always be here for you. Prayers for comfort and peace. Soar with Angels my Sweet Pea.
MY DEAR SISTER IN CHRIST. I WILL MISS DEAR PEGGY . WE DID A LOT SHOPPING TOGETHER OVER THE YEARS AND HAD SOME GREAT TIMES. JUST KNOW THERE IS NO MORE PAIN AND SHE IS IN HER HEAVENLY HOME. TO CHARLES AND THE GIRLS : YOU ARE IN MY PRAYERS . MUCH LOVE AND PRAYERS .
Love lives in our hearts and bones. Peggy’s smile & sweet personality has been a gift to all who have known her. Hoping that family and friends will find comfort in the thought that we have lost the ‘giver’ not the gift.
So very sorry for your loss! Miles separated us from seeing all my cousins but family was always close. Peggy was always very special to me and she will surely be missed. May God be with Charles and the family as we celebrate her life.
A warm, thoughful and Godly lady, my cousin Peggy sure was a fine woman. I know that my mother – the late Mary Jean Fisher Moore – loved her dearly. The cousins – children of John and Katie Green\’s sons and daughters – grew up during the Depression and World War II years when, mom said often, they may not have had a lot as far as material possessions but they sure had a close and loving family and that was worth a lot more than money! Peggy certainly shared that love and enthusiasm for life with her family and friends. And then there\’s Charles . . . ahh, Charles, I hope you realize what a role model you are for husbands everywhere . . . I can only imagine how much Peggy loved and appreciated you and it goes without saying how very much you obviously love her! Lynn & Karen, great cousins and the epitomy of loving, selfless neices. Peggy was so lucky to have you all and, of course . . . we were all so very lucky to have her! Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you as your many wonderful memories help you find strength in the days ahead. As mom said frequently, she couldn\’t wait to rejoin all those family members waiting for her . . . what a party they must\’ve had when Peggy arrived last week!!!!
