What a classy lady Peggy Thank was. We loved her here is Nags Head Pond and were so sorry to loose her as a neighbor. Peggy kept everyone together around here but after Joes death we all understood her wanting to be near her family. So sorry for the families loss she was truly a admired lady in many ways...

I was saddened to hear of Peg's passing and send my sincere sympathy to her family. Peg was a classy lady and I felt very privileged to be her friend here in the Outer Banks of NC.

I attended my cousin Peggy's funeral mass today. I know she was pleased so many friends and family attended. Her granddaughter Julie delivered the eulogy highlighting the special relationship they shared. Then Julie led us in one chorus of Hail to the Redskins. I know Peggy, Joe and the rest of those who have gone before us joined in. Peggy will always be remembered as a loyal friend and true Christian. Until we see each other again, love Carolyn
