Dear Colleen and Family – we are so sorry to get the news of your mom’s passing – just want you to know that you and your family are in your thoughts and prayers. Just hold on to the thought that your mom isn’t suffering anymore and is in a much better place – I know you will miss her. Love, Debbie and Mike Shott
Dear Kathy and family, I am so sad to hear of your mother’s passing. I have thought of her many times over the years. She was like a second mom to me. Even with 6 kids of her own, she was always willing to sit around the kitchen table and listen. May your wonderful memories help you all through this difficult time. In Christ’s Love, Mary-Margaret Smith
I always enjoyed Peggy’s infectious enthusiasm for the game of tennis. I will always remember the twinkle in her eye at the start of each new point. It was a pleasure. My sympathy, condolences and best wishes for the family who loved her in moving through this sad time.
Dear Kane Family, Peggy and I used to play tennis together–both inside and outdoors. (She played an amazing net!) She was a wonderful person, so warm and thoughtful. Later, I always looked forward to seeing her cheerful presence when she volunteered at our polling place during elections. My love and condolences, Wendy Higginbotham
I’m so sad to hear of Peggy’s passing. I always enjoyed playing tennis with her at Fairfax Racquet Club and loved hearing her proudly talk about her seven children. I will miss you, Sweet Peggy. Rest in Peace. Love, Elena Skipper
Dear Colleen and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. As you know I loved your mother. She was always so good to me. Everytime I ran into her she would say such nice things and always talked of you and your family. Myself and my family have heartrending sorrow for your loss. You and your family are in my prayers. Love Laura and Dan Mitchell
My prayers are with your family. I hope you can find comfort in the memories you have of your mother. She was a dear friend. God Bless Gwen
I am so sad to hear of Peg’s passing. I’ve enjoyed many a laugh with her both on the tennis court and off. My heart goes out to her family. She will be greatly missed.
Colleen and Family you have my deepest and most heartfelt condolences. I know that it’s an extremely hard and difficult time for you and I can only say that my sympathy goes out to you. I didn’t know your wonderful Mother, but I can see the legacy that she has left with us, and that’s you. You were right there for her and such a blessing to her. Just rest assuredly that God will provide all the comfort you will need. Just as He has taken care of your dear Mother, He will take care of you also, for you shall see her again. Oh, what a joy that will be!! Please let me know if there is ANYTHING you need. I’m only a cubicle at work, phone call or an email away. I pray for your healing, and you will always be in my thoughts. God bless you and your family. Prayerfully yours, Veronica, George & Nache.

We met your family many years ago at the Lee Graham Pool in Falls Church and very much enjoyed time spent with your mother and father during swim meets there in the 1970’s.
