It was a year ago Mom passed. I'm still saddened that I didn't have a chance to say good bye. Still, I believe she's in a better place. Love you and miss you.

From the time we married in 1953, at Camp Gordon, Georgia,to the end of her life, I never heard Peggy Ann whisper an unkind word about anyone. My sweet Peggy Ann was the most fun loving,unbiased, kind, human being I ever knew.She never put herself first.
Throughout those 20 years that she was a stroke victim, she never gave up her fight to get well.
We had a beautiful and wonderful journey, together.
Francis

I know Mom wanted this to be low key, but I need to add that she loved skeet shooting as well. She's the reason I got into sporting clays. Among all the other thing I owe her, she gave me this beloved activity. I'm just sorry I never got to shoot with her. I miss you Mom. Love you.

I know Mom didn't want a fuss, but I just wanted to add that she loved skeet shooting as well as golf. It was the reason I got into shooting sporting clays. Among all the things I owe to her, this is a treasured activity for me. I'm just sorry I never got the chance to shoot with her. I miss you, Mom. Love you.
