I only came to know Peggy over the past two years, but once we met we became friends. Peggy was such a kind, sweet person! Most of the time when I went to see her, she would be singing hymns to her Heavenly Father, who she loved so much. Even though she couldn't see much at all, it never stopped her from complimenting how pretty the flowers were. She would want to know what kind they were, but I could only describe what they looked like and what color they were. She loved to talk about her family, grandchildren, and friends. Peggy was such an inspiration to me!
