Peggy was a sweet soul and a very pretty girl, and I am saddened to now know of her passing.

Once Peggy was snapped up by Louis Jackson many decades ago, I had to search all the way to Raleigh to find a young woman as comparable to marry. I never told Peggy that.

I pray for her blithe spirit to enjoy eternal peace and for her family to accept this.
