To all the family of Peg: Peg and I worked together at The Virginian for many years. She was my friend and mentor. I will always remember her dedication to our residents and their families. Some people come into our lives and forever live in our hearts and memory. I think of Peg often and remember the good times we had together helping the residents. We laughed a lot which helped us get through difficult times. I am grateful to have worked with her. May she rest in the peace of Christ during this Easter season. My thoughts and prayers are with her family during this most difficult time of loss. Susan Yohe
The Moss family is in my prayers and thoughts at this difficult time. I hope it is comforting that Mrs. Moss lived such a generous and adventurous life full of family, faith, travel, and service to others.
Such a super lady and it was our pleasure to know her and spend time with both her and her family on many occasions. She will be missed greatly. The Bishop Family
