My father, P.G. Poston, age 93,found this obituary in the Austin paper and immediately recognized the name of Alex Pope, Peggy's father. Dad roomed with his fraternity brother, Alex, his junior year of 1941 into the next summer of 1942 at North Texas before Alex went into the service. Dad remembered that he was killed in the Battle of the Bulge three weeks after arriving in France. Dad, who lives on his own in Sun City at Georgetown, may have memories to share that only roommates can,of Alex,should any of the family wish to visit with him. First, contact me at either: 254-913-9090 or [email protected]. Our sympathy to the entire family on their loss.

Dear Sweet Watt Family--
These times seem like dreams and last long---I am thinking of all of you and hoping you are treading water without too much struggle.
Though I only knew her briefly from Grandparent Day visits, she was an integral person in the character development of her children and grandchildren, a fine legacy indeed.
Please let your friends know if we can do anything to ease this transition...
Much Love

I grew up on the Watt Ranch in Throckmorton, Texas. Peggy was dear to me and my family. She and my Mother spent many hours together with Peggy wanting information on how to be a good mother and wife. I have been a close e-mail buddy with her for the past few years but had no idea that she was ill. This is such a sad thing for not only me but my family. Shirley Hasting

I knew Peggy in my high school days and dated her before I went off to college. She was absolutely one of the most beautiful, sweet, and kind persons I have ever known. My parents and my sister were very fond of her. It saddens me deeply to hear of her death and may God Bless her soul. She will be missed by many, I know.

Peggy was as delightful, lighthearted, and heartlifting a child, adolescent and young adult as ever took up my friendship and walked my trail. I'll carry my affectionate memory of Peggy to the end. Profound condolence.
