John,Debbie, and Nora, I have so many sweet memories of your Mom, there isn’t nearly enough room to begin to share them. I loved her dearly from the first time I met her. Her kindness towards me knew no end. The Massie house was always a favorite place for us kids to hang out. There was so much love and peace in your home. I am so happy that I was the recipient of one of her handmade tablecloths a few years back. It’s a cherished gift that I plan to pass down to my daughter/ granddaughter. She left a mark on my life and I will never forget her. Our prayers are with all of you and we are here if you need anything. God bless , Teresa Shingleton Barnhart

So very sorry to hear about the passing of Peggy. She was a wonderful neighbor and was so kind to us when we moved into the Moore’s old house across the road on Pine Street. She was a true lady and the world will be a lesser place with her passing. Very kindest regards Stephen, Karla Pike and family.
