Peggy, you were a wonderful mother-in-law, sweet, gracious, kind and always with a smile and a twinkle in your eye. You prepared your daughter well for the transformation to Atlanta. You will be missed by all that have touched. Dan

Dearest Mother,
There is a love that will live on forever. There is a tie that nothing can sever. There is high praise to be sung to no other. There is a song in my heart for you MOTHER. I will miss you terribly and have comfort knowing you are with God and all your loved ones who have gone on before you. You had a beautiful service..just the way you wished for it to be, and the roses could have come straight from your garden. I am playing one your favorite Willie Nelson songs: "YOU ARE ALWAYS ON MY MIND". I love you and will see you again in the Sweet By and By.
Your loving daughter, Janice

Jan, Dennis, Kim, Jill, Belinda and grandchildren - my heart is with each of you as you celebrate the life of Maw-Maw today. She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, mother in law, sister, friend. I felt her love throughout the years. She endured some trials in her life but she still loved everyone. She will be missed. I am so glad I was a part of her life for almost 30 years. Please know that I am praying for your family.
