The first time I met Peggy was when I was born at Orange Memorial hospital. Jack Jr was born the day before me and our Mom's shared the same room. I can only imagine what a riot that was for the nurses and Dr. to have our Mom's sharing a room! So, I have known Peggy and Jack all my life and consider them family. My Mom has been Peggy and Jack's best friend since teenagers. All of you are in our prayers. We love you all and send our deepest sympathy. Love, Julia Hunt Lake and Carol Nix
