Judy and Diane...I am so sorry for your loss.. Peggy was a beautiful girl when she was young and just as beautiful in her older years. I remember when we used to play together and when Judy and I were part of the 7th grade really during field day..still have the newspaper clipping...so sorry I haven't kept up with y'all over the years...I know she is in a better place but it sure does hurt giving them up..stay strong and remember the good times..love you both.

My heart aches for the children of Peggy...I know you all loved and will miss her tremendously, "there's no other love like the love of a mom"...I will never forget how she helped my brother Tennel in his final days here on earth!! I have never known another kind, caring, loving woman as Peggy! She and I would talk by phone occasionally, what a joy she was!! I know that when God called her Home, He left so many wonderful memories for each and everyone of us to enjoy, I know her family has many and each of you just hold all of those precious memories close to your hearts and let them be of comfort to you. I pray that God will grant each of you comfort and strength to help you in the coming days and as you lay this precious soul to rest. I love each of you!
