Dear family......What a lovely treat to read about all of Peggy's accomplishments and see that wonderful video. I knew Peggy through our school years at the Hickman Mills Community Christian Church and the Ruskin school district. There are many good memories of Peggy and several of her brothers and sisters. I know her passing is difficult and sad and she will be greatly missed. But she has left a wonderful legacy. My prayers are with you all for strength and peace. Peggy has left this life for a bright new one.
Most sincerely with God's and my love,
Bev Silvius

I am saddened to hear about Peggy passing away. I knew her and Ray very well. They both helped me a lot when I was in high school. She was in charge of the talent shows and beauty pageants. She has been a great influence in many young lives. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Jasper will not be the same.
