My Condolences to Skip, Tim, Steve, Kenneth and Families.
Aunt Peggy will be missed. Prayers to all the family.
I am so shocked to read of Peggy’s passing. I have known her since early 70’s in Waldorf and then she became my mail carrier here in Mechanicsville. We had alot of good conversations and would see her at American Legion and church occasionally and always exchanged Christmas cards until this past one I did not get one in return. Due to health issues had lost touch but every card or call ended the same, “keep the coffee hot cause we are going to get together soon” Life & Health gets in the way! I send my sincere condolences to Peggy’s family. She was one special lady. Rest In Peace My Friend
Skip and family. We are so sorry to hear of your families loss.
Our Prayers and thoughts are with you during this time.
Lori & Lonnie

We know that your sorrow is great today but pray that you will be able to console each other, and in time, come together with smiles and laughter as you recall memories of your mother.
Family has always been paramount to your parents and now it your turn to hold the reunions and love one another. Our love to you all and may God bless you.
