Peggy was easy going, laid back, kind and loving to all, especially her family. She was always willing to help and was an available shoulder to lean on at all times. Danny was close to his sister, and when he died, she checked on me consistently. She shared stories with me and shared in my grief. She was a wonderful role model and those who knew her, loved her, including me. I am grateful that our paths crossed and I could call her sister.

Mrs. Hudson was so sweet and loving. Lots of fond memories of her as I grew up, neighborhood mom to us all. I loved her bright eyes and always kind words. I remember the last time we talked, she came to my father’s visitation and we visited about their time together at DuPont and our neighborhood. Blessings to the family. Denise Woods
