To Peggy and Family. I was so sorry to hear of your husband and father’s passing. You children may not remember me but I met your Mother back in 1960 when my husband was transferred from Louisville to Wilmington. We both started work at DuPont on the same day, became fast friends, and have remained so ever since. Your Dad was in college. Marvie was just a baby. Your Dad was a good man and I know you all will miss him so very much. I am so very sorry. You will be in my prayers as you go through this difficult time.
