Peggy was a beautiful lady and a very special and loyal friend. Noland and I will never forget the kindness and love she and Bobby showered on our son, Forrest. From beach trips, hikes, visits and many celebrations she will forever remain in our hearts. Prayers for Bobby, Shawn and all her many friends.
