Dear Bill,
I was saddened to hear about Peggy. I will never forget how much she cared for all she knew. I remember when I had my appendix out, shortly after my father's passing, and she stopped by my hospital room whenever she could. This really helped my mom!

My mom misses her so much already. When she called me, she kept saying what a great friend Peggy was and that she was such a good person. I'm sorry Mom could not be in Ohio for the services.

Tommy, Colleen, Kathy A, Kathy B, and Bill Chip, my thoughts are with you all. Your parents have always been so good to me and my family. I can't tell you how much they are loved. Give your dad a hug for me!

Peggy will be greatly missed.

Love Always,
Emily Cummins Ratcliff

Dear Bill and family,
I have known Peggy since the day of her birth. She was my first cousin on the Harris side. Also, I was her teacher when she was a senior at Bridgeport High School. She was a sweet child and a lovely woman.
We will miss her. Marilyn and Hayden Buckley

Dear Bill and family,

I am so sorry to learn about Peggy. Though I will be down shortly for visitation today, I am not sure if I could adequately convey my sympathies in person so wanted to utilize this venue for that.

I always admired Peggy that she married a widower with four children; I am not so sure many of us would have done that. That certainly speaks to her obvious love of you and the kids!

If there is any consolation in all of this is at least she didn't suffer.

I am hopeful you get better and stronger, and urge you to do something positive for yourself every single day........Peggy would want you to do so as I know your kids do, as well.

Peggy always treated me wonderfully, and never forgot to send me a Christmas card until maybe this last year! Some of my own first cousins do not even do that unless I send them a Christmas card first so as only a second cousin of yours, I was always especially pleased.

Take good care of yourself, allow yourself to grieve, and know that the entire "Cutright" family sends our love and sympathies.

Love always,
Debbie Ruth Mason Turner
