It’s amazing to think that Maggie and Peggy knew each other for more than 75 years. Peggy was always so kind, sweet, and caring. Mom and she talked several times a week on the phone, almost as if they were still kids growing up together. She will be missed by so many. She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. To the family – comforting prayers and love are being sent your way. Love, Allison & Henry Greene

Heart-felt sympathy to the Lewter family. For the loved ones left behind nothing is worse than the loss of a mother and grandmother but comfort can be taken knowing that she is safe in the arms of Jesus. Praying for you all. Butch and Sharyn Littleton, Thorsby, Al
