Peggy and John moved to Greensboro in 1956. Peggy was a devoted wife and mother to her family.

I am holding your whole family in the Light, John. My Dad (Ed Wagoner) and Mom (Emma Wagoner) are also praying for you and thinking of you daily, but it is difficult for them to contact you. I was with Dad (at Friends Home) yesterday when he tried and tried to reach you by phone, but there were problems with the connections. Mom and Dad have so many wonderful memories of times with you and Peggy. May you find comfort in remembering the good times, and remember that you are never alone. Good friends surround you, and so does the love of our Maker. With sympathy,
