    Bright fully, tirelessly daisies o’field Spread beyond hillside in wind carried seed. Simple yet bounteous, their gathering yields Joyful bouquets for a world’s anxious need. Such did she give me in sunshine -like fashion. Gifts made with handmade love; Table, card, time. Single and many she prayed for with passion. Hoping for bouquets That Jesus would like.

    I always remember just how sweet and so very cute that my baby cousin, Peggy, was. I was a few years older than she but this is the prominent memory that remains with me.

    Jan and Johnny, I am so sorry for the loss of your caring sister Peggy. I’m praying that God’s richest blessings will be with you and all of the family at this sad time.

    Miss Peggy was a long time customer of Caters Drug Store and one of the sweetest ladies I’ve ever known. I will miss fixing her medications for her..She would always call me when she felt bad and I would do the best I could to help her feel better. She never hung up the phone without telling me how much she loved me. I loved her too and I’ll never forget her sweet soul!
