I will miss my Aunt Peggy so much. She was such a happy soul and never wanted much out of life. She was content and thankful for the simple things. She loved the Lord with all her heart, soul, mind, and body. Tammy and David are more like a brother and sister to me than cousins. We spent lots of time together growing up and I will always cherish those memories. Peggy could always make me laugh. She never minded praying for someone who had a problem no matter how little it may have seemed. She was so thankful for what the Lord had done in her life. My comfort is knowing she is shouting on the streets of Glory now and basking in the light of our Lord and Savior. Her ONLY desire out of life was that her family be saved and join her in heaven one day. That is my prayer also. I love you all. I can't wait to see her again.
