My Aunt Peggy was a special person, whoI love to talk and joke with...she was opiniated but never judgemental. This woman was a true jewel who will be sorely missed by me and all she came in contact with. Gary Moore (nephew) Jacksonville Florida

Peggy was a great neighbor. She gave me a Nancy Drew book every year for Christmas when I was growing up. She will be missed.

Psalm 90:10 tells us: "In themselves the days of our years are seventy years; And if because of special mightiness they are eighty years".....May your hearts be filled with loving memories of "happy" times together, as you celebrate a life well-lived!!!

Peggy was a great aunt and a wonderful sister-in-law to mama, Radie Williams Hennis. She phoned me Jan. 22, at mama's death, and told me how much she loved mama.
Mama loved her equally the same. I can remember when I used to spend the night with her and Albert, she would give me books and let me play with her many pairs of shoes. I will never forget Peggy and her visits. Mama slways praised her for the kindness she showed Ma Williams. Love you, Peggy and tell mama I miss her.

Remember when we talked at the dining table about different things in life before I cleaned your gutters out. We'll miss the visits and miss you very much. See you in heaven one day. We'll miss you very much. Love You.
