Add My Condolences

She touched my heart in ways no one else did. She went beyond the second mile for me when I needed it the most.
Her love was easy to see and feel.
Her request for a text of 'home sweet home' touched my heart.
Yes, I do miss her, but I'm also looking forward to meeting her in heaven.

Peggy was a one of kind! We will greatly miss her in our church group and as a friend. We’ve only known her a few short years but she had endless energy and a willingness to join in and have fun. She loved the Lord and I know she is a new creation in Christ. I pray she is singing in heaven and joins her loved ones that have gone before her. Our condolences to the family and may the Lord send you peace.
