I just now learned of this. I am so saddened. Mrs Rushing was such a source of strength to John Michael and his friends during those times. I will never forget her quiet, loving strength. She lives on in our memories. 

Our deepest sympathy and condolences to the Rushing family.  May God comfort you and strengthen you during this time.

Mr. Jack, Dana and Brady,
        There are no comforting words when a loved one passes.  I was so pleased when I arrived at the visitation and saw how many folks had shown up to pay their respect -- I remember how good it made me feel when my parents both passed to know so many people loved and cared for our family.  Ms. Peggy and I had some great conversations when she would bring items to Wesley House for donation -- she had a wicked sense of humor and I always looked forward to her visits.  Mr. Jack -- I miss sitting at the coffee shop with you, solving the problems of the world.  Dana and Brady -- anyone that had the pleasure of knowing your mother realized just how special and loving she was to everyone.  All of you are and will be in my prayers during this period of loss.

We just found out about the loss of your wife and mother and want you to know that we are thinking of you today.
My mother, Jewel Thompson, just had a long conversation with your Mom last week over the passing of her husband, Johnny Edsel Thompson, and we talked about what a loving Mother, pleasant, sweet, and caring person Peggy was.
Our family enjoyed having you, ( Jack, Peggy,  Mike, Brady and Dana) as neighbors and friends throughout the years and hope that God will comfort you in your great loss.

Sending my dearest sympathies and love to the Rushing family! May God give you all strength. Sending you all my love! Aunt Peggy was such an amazing woman, I will forever cherish the memories I hold!

We are so sorry to hear of Peggy's passing this week.  My Mom, Peggy Little, just received a card from Peggy as she is in Regency very ill.  Then we hear this news.  Mom and me send our condolences and prayers for peace to her family during this sad time.  We are not able to attend the services but know we are thinking of all of you and hold you dear in our hearts.
Your old neighbors from 70th Pl  Peggy Little and Kathy Eastman

We wish to express our sincere sympathy to the Rushing family at this time.
