My dear sweet Peggy, even though you were my sister-in-law, you have been like another sister to me since I was 9 years old. Our parents and siblings have always been close and best friends as well. I will so miss the good times we had but I know you are Home now in the presence of God. You are now with Bruce, Jeffery and Angela and so many other family members who have been waiting for you and free from pain and sorrow. I will see you again when He will call my name as well. I love you and I will miss you.

I had the privilege of getting to know Peggy over the past year. I was very impressed with her ability to overcome any challenges that she faced. She was a spitfire and loved her family without abandon. Rest in Jesus heavenly arms Peggy
