So sorry for your loss.
Peggy was the sweetest woman and I know this leaves a large hole in your hearts. Praying for your family.
Peg, it has taken me some time to get the words to say. But I can think of is how greatly you will be missed! You will always be in my thoughts and heart. I know you will be a great angel to your girls and your wonderful grandchildren. You will never be forgotten! I know you are up in heaven in a room full of animal print!!
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of Peggy's family during this very difficult time and during the difficult days, months and years to come. May your precious memories of her carry you through.
Words just can’t be expressed about the many lives that Peggy had impacted in her life here, including mine. My thoughts and prayers go out to her three Beautiful Daughters, her Grandchildren, Family Members and so many friends. She will truly be missed!
I am so sorry for your loss. Peggy always had a smile and a kind word whenever I was around her. She loved you girls so much and I know the greatest joy she had was being a grandma. She will be missed!
We are sorry for your loss. We will keep you in our prayers. Remember all of the good times.
Ms. Peggy was a great lady that I admired. I'm thankful to have had the opertunity to work with her. I am praying for Peggy's family and dear friends. We know Peggy is now with the Lord, but I know the pain and sorry for those left behind is great. You all are in my thoughts during this tough time.
I'm so sorry for you loss, your family will be in my thoughts and prayers!
What a wonderful lady. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.
Thinking of each of you during this sad time here on Earth, please know that her smile is bigger and brighter as she is with Jesus!
I am so sorry to have read of your loss. Please accept my sincere condolences. The Bible is a great source of encouragement at times like this. Something that I have personally found to be of great comfort is what the Bible says at John 5:28, 29 ( Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.) As well as Revelation 21:3,4 (With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.) These verses show us that soon God is going to bring about a resurrection of our loved ones as well as do away with all causes we have for suffering including sickness and death. Knowing this has always comforted me and it is my sincere hope that these thoughts comfort your family as well. Again I am so sorry for your loss and May Jehovah God bring you comfort during these difficult times.
Larry and I want to express our deepest sympathy to your family during this time of loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless You.

I feel so honored to have known Peggy. I met her through her sister Patsy. I can honestly say that Peggy always saw the good in people. What a testimony! Such a picture of her Savior Jesus Christ. People like Peggy are very rare indeed. I am praying for you Patsy, Renee, Marla, and Lindy. May the peace that passeth all understanding be yours. Love, Christi Barnard and Family
We would like to express our deepest sympathy to Peggy's family, and her FABT family! We both bank at FABT and it was always a joy to chat with her! We will miss her southern accent :) wishing us a good day, and chats about her family or a terrible day we were having. She was such a sweetheart, kind, and thoughtful person! It is not going to be the same banking experience without her there. She was so excited about her new grandbaby coming. Family was everything to her! God Bless you all, and may you find comfort knowing that she is with our Lord.
My deepest sympathies to Peggy's family. I will be praying that God brings you peace and comfort and holds you all tight during this time.
Words can't express how heartbroken I am over the loss of a very dear friend, but I know she's in a better place without a care in the world. I'm going to miss our long talks and both of us laughing until we are literally crying. She always talked about her daughters and grandchildren. She was one of a kind and will be deeply missed. I love you, Peggy. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Peggy was a very kind, loving woman that was always so kind to me, my children, and my grandchildren. You always felt welcome to her home. You will always be remembered for that loving spirit that you showed to all that crossed your path. It must be an awesome experience to go to sleep and wake up in Jesus's arms! Not goodbye but see you later Peggy!

Although I only had the priviledge of knowing her a short time, I could tell instantaneously that she was a woman full of wisdom, love, and laughter. I am deeply saddened by this news but can tell you that she had something many can only fathom. She had a family that loved her deeply and it was easy to tell that she loved them just as much. I am praying for you all during this difficult time. It was honor being able to serve you all.
I am so sorry for your loss. I always enjoyed my talks with Peggy, so sweet & kind. I will continue to keep you all in my prayers.

I'm very saddened to read this. Peggy was the first person that I opened a bank account with and then 10 or so years later she opened my next account. She was honestly the most good hearted person I have ever met. I pray for her family. I can say every time I seen her at the bank she was always talking about her precious grandchildren and asking how my kids were.

Praise The Lord that Peggy is is free from suffering and is now soaring in Heaven. I always think of her as I listen to the song, "When God Dips His Pen of Love in My Heart." What joyous memories I have of listening to it and singing it with her. She was such a kind and Blessed woman. May God hold you all in His arms as you face the days ahead. Love and prayers for you all.
Ms. Peggy will be greatly missed. She was a beautiful, loving, and caring woman who I will never forget.
