Peggy was a sweet, helpful, sincere communicant of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Jacksonville, Fl and one of the kindest, funniest, most sincere, caring person I have ever met! She and Russell are missed, and our sympathy to Gena and Gay, and their families! May God rest their souls!

Peggy was a kind funny most beloved friend a person could hope for. She and Russell made an amazing couple. Both had a sense of humor that kept you laughing and loving being around them. They’re two girls Gina and Gay both inherited their charming personality. Love kisses and many blessings to all
