Ginny and I enjoyed knowing Peggy and visiting with her during the times she was with Rita and Bill. She was a delightful and industrious woman who epitomized the wife and mother of Proverbs 31. We will miss her smiling face. Our prayers for comfort for her family in this life with the sure expectation of a reunion with her and the Lord in the future.
