Dear Peggy-

I am currently watching a special on A&E regarding your late husbands last flight. I had to write and tell you what a wonderful, supportive, and brave woman you seem to be.
I am a pilots wife as well, and thank God every day since 9/11 that he was home that day.
You are so poised on this program and show such a sense of class that I cannot help but admire you.
We, as pilots wife’s are a different breed. How many women could and would handle the schedule these men keep. I know the perks that come with it, but most women cannot handle the responsibility of being a married single parent.
You handle yourself so beautifully in your interviews that I just couldn’t help but email and let you know what a wonderful woman you seem to be, I will always be sorry for the loss of life that happened on that day, but you can be sure that women like myself will think of you always.
