Don,
We are so incredibly sorry about Peggy. We just learned of her passing. We can't hardly believe it is so. We looked up the article in the Roanoke Times when we heard from Katrina today (Sunday). What a beautiful picture of Peggy. This must be so hard for you. I graduated from Madison College in 1976. I had no idea Peggy graduated from there in 1953. I realize we are far, but if there is anything you need, please, please include us. Gail & Alton

Our prayers are with you Don & the rest of Peggy's family. Peggy always had a sweet smile & was such a kind lady. She was a special neighbor to us & we will miss her.
God bless you,
