“Peggy always brightened with an anticipatory smile anytime anyone approached her. She has got to be one of the friendliest people ever. I loved her and even the pats on my cheeks that accompanied her hugs and greetings. Peggy was a peace maker and will be sorely missed at the family gatherings, the Church services and meetings and all of the places she visited. Love and prayers for Sandy, Gina, Lisa and especially Royce as well as the rest of the family. Janice and Wayneâ€

What a beautiful, sweet lady! Her laugh and smile was so sweet and contagious! Loved being in the choir with Sister Peggy! She was loved by her family and friends and will be missed! But we know that she is rejoicing in heaven telling all her friends hello, but at the same time saying “I just want to see Jesus†and she is bowing down worshipping her sweet Savior. Praying for her family and just want to tell y’all how much I love each of you.

Our hearts are saddened to learn of the home going of our dear sweet Peggy! There is no doubt she is with Wayne, and many other family and friends, and our wonderful Lord and savior Jesus Christ.

I thank God for her salvation and service to Him !
I thank God for giving me such a great smile every time I saw her while I was a student of the Missionary Baptist Seminary in Little Rock during the late 1960s which was a great comfort and joy for this preacher from Yokohama, Japan !

I lost my sweet sister in law yesterday. When Wayne brought me to Little Rock to meet his family one Sunday afternoon, she welcomed me with open arms. She never failed to tell me she loved me. She missed her brother but I know that she is hugging his neck now! Miss you both
