I hope God will bring you peace and comfort at this time.

Peggy and family. I loved your sweet momma from the first time I met her. She was a special lady and heaven is a more beautiful place since she walked into the presence of God. My heart is hurting for all of you and my family is lifting all of you up and asking that our Father above wrap his arms around you during this sad time. We love all of you- Joyce Norton and family.
