The things I can, And the wisdom to
Know the difference.

So sorry to hear of Peggy passing. She was a classmate of my sister Georgia. The last time I spoke with her was when Georgia passed. I know she truly will be missed. Prayers going out to the Family 🙏🏽💕🎈

I was so very sorry to hear about Peggy’s illness and death. She was a first cousin and always a kind and gentle person. After I relocated from Virginia to Pennsylvania and then to Florida and had the occasion to return many times to visit my immediate family, it always included a stop at Peggy’s parent’s home to see my aunt and uncle and Peggy. I am extremely saddened on hearing of her death and pray that God will grant her light, rest and peace and receive her soul into His kingdom. May God bless you, Peggy.
