Condolences

Sorry to Barbara and the family for the loss. Peggy was one of the dearest friends of my life. She always stressed the importance education to me. She taught me so many things that cannot be taught by a textbook... things about tools, animals, finances, morals, and values. Peggy was rough around the edges, and not afraid to tell it how it was. When I was little I was quite afraid of Peggy and dreaded my Saturday job with her(at first). Now, I aspire to be a nurse like Peggy. Over the years, I became closer and closer with Peggy and Judy, and I realized they were like my second parents. We have done so many things together in the past few years, and I have numerous fond memories of our times together. I sometimes wish there was more time to spend with them. We all miss them dearly. My sympathy is with those who also mourn the loss of these wonderful women. We love you Peggy and Judy!!

I knew Peggy when we both served in the 85th Evac Hospital in QuiNhon. I was a green 2nd Lt who knew nothing about army life. She showed me how to get by in the army and in a foreign country. She was the most resourceful person I've known and would help anyone who asked. We were lucky to have her in our unit.

Peggy was truly one-of-a-kind. She had enough personality to fill the room with her warm laughter and great sense of humor. Her life was one of strict discipline and organization, but she always managed to temper that with an abundance of love and kindness. She taught me about chainsaws and firearms and the value of a good plate of bacon and eggs. Peggy was a person of whom I have always been extremely proud. She served her nation and saved many lives in Viet Nam, as a nurse, and during her many years on the rescue squad. I will miss her.

Our condolences to Peggy's family and friends. She and Judy were great frinds to Frank and I. We still have german shepards because of them. She was loved, and will be missed.
Frank, Lynn, Emily and Graeson

On behalf of Colonial Heights American Legion Post 284, where Peggy was a member for over 20 years, I would like to express our sincere sympathy on the loss of your family member and friend and our comrade. I knew Peggy back in the late 70's before the American Legion and I always appreciated her spirit and zest for doing things right the first time.

My sincerest condolescences to Peggy's family and close friends. I knew Peggy for a number of years when I lived in Petersburg. Although our lives moved in different directions once I left the Tr-Cities area, I will always remember Peggy (and Judy!) for her outspoken and generous nature. I used to love those big, white German Sheppards they had and I always marveled at Peggy's collection of tools and garden equipment...the envy of many I am sure. I also will fondly remember Peggy's utter distain for much of the medical community of which she was a part! Give 'em Hell, Peggy!

I worked with Peggy many years ago at the Richmond Health Dept and enjoyed her support as another nurse practitioner in those early years. I am sorry for your loss.
