Mrs. Peggy you were part of our family for just a short while but you made a huge impact on mine and ginas and even bigger impact on our grandchildren’s lives you will be greatly missed and always in our thoughts and prayers.
It’s Thanksgiving and peggy had new stove but hadn’t been converted to propane yet. You should have seen the flame. We all died laughing after we got oven turned off.
I starting coming to Lakeside Baptist Church 4 months ago. From the very beginning Mrs. Peggy welcomed me with open arms. She was just the sweetest and kindest person. The last time I saw her she gave me a big hug and said she just loved seeing me and she ended it with an ‘I love you’. She definitely had a beautiful heart and although I didn’t get to know her better I will miss her dearly. It broke my heart to hear she was no longer with us but quickly realized she is no longer in any kind of pain but in heaven where she should be. May you live a beautiful, peaceful, and eternal life in heaven Mrs. Peggy. We love youðŸ™
