I loved Peggy so much. Just found out she had passed. Blessings to the family.

So sorry for the family's loss! But if I learned one thing from Ms Peggy it was that she was ready to go to her home in Heaven. She taught me so much as my Sunday School teacher and my music teacher and I still miss the singing soo much! I loved singing with Ms Peggy, she was so talented, my husband Alan and myself will truly miss her and we can't wait to see her on the other side!

Peggy was my mentor, my friend, my teacher and the greatest Lady I have ever known. She taught me how to pray, and how to study the Bible. She was the perfect definition of what a Christian is. She is with her Lord and savior now. Will see her again.

Peggy impacted my life forever as my Sunday School teacher and mentor. She taught me the importants of worship and prayer to God.I will miss her and will see her one day when I get to cross over and see my savior. I know she is singing and crying and hugging our savior. Love you always Rhonda and Fred
