Dear Warren and Family,

I just heard the news and I/we are very saddened. Our deepest sympathies to you and your family.

Peggy was one of the nicest people on the planet....not to mention almost a second mom to me as I was growing up.

I will miss her letters and our occasional visits, but our warm memories of her will last for a very long time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Sincerely,

Dick Holcomb and Family
Austin, TX
