Jeanne, Karen and Jimmy,

So sorry for your loss. Your Mom was  so loving of her family and you will all miss her terribly.  Even though they are sick and maybe don't know you, you are never ready to give them up.  I can remember her bringing you all over to Aunt Kidd's to play with us.  Know she is without pain and suffering and rests with those that have gone on before her.

The family of Peggy Kyker

I am so sorry for the loss of Peggy.  She was always such a gracious lady, and pleasant to be around.  Sorry we can't make it to the Receiving of Friends, but our driveway isn't allowing us to be there.  I wanted you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Bob, Jimmy, Jeanne, Karen and Bobby,

We were so saddened to hear of Peggy's passing. We last saw her at Andy's funeral in 2006 and she was still so sweet and affectionate to us. We have such very fond memories of her through the years and the fun times we had when we came to visit with our parents.

Harry and Dottie Stickley and Ike Cash send their deepest heartfelt condolences to you as well. Please know that we all would have been there and wanted to,  but the weather did not permit. Also, we send out prayers to you and are thinking of you at this most difficult time.

May you find comfort in your precious memories of your dear Mother who loved her family so much.

With Deepest Heartfelt Sympathy and Love,

Kathy  and Tom Rowland, Knoxville, TN

 

 

 

 

Please know that you

Peggy was such a wonderful person. She would laugh with me and we would sometimes laugh at me. She always made me feel better about everything and could always see the light at the end of the tunnel. I haven't seen her since I moved back to east TN and it hurts to know we won't get to laugh together again. She was my friend and my prayers and thoughts go to Bob and her family. To Karen, Jimmy, Bobby and Jeanne my heart cries for you. She was your mother and best friend. Peggy never failed to tell me how much she loved you. If you ever need me just call.

Sammy

Bob and Family,

 We were saddened to hear of Peggys death, but we all know she is now home with the Lord and not suffering with her dehabiliting disease.

 Peggy was always a joy to be around and always had that beautiful smile even in times when  we know she was't feeling well. 

 She will be missed by the entire family but we can be reassured that we will see her again soon.

God Bless, Harlon & Carolyn and Family

Karen and Family,

Paul and I are praying for you and your family during this difficult time.  Peggy was a great example of a "classy" lady. She will be greatly missed by all the people whose lives she has touched.   We are praying that God will give your family strength.

"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Philippians 4:13

Praying that each of you will put Christ first in your life.

Paul and Anita Ishman
