I will sorely miss Aunt Peggy and her playful outlook about life. I loved the way she would call mom or Aunt Wilma “Sister”. A definite part of her southern past. What a blessing she was during her last few years when she moved up here to be with the “girls”. She loved spending time with them daily and called Mom and Walt if they didn’t come over to see why they had not gotten there yet. I hope she knows what a wonderful gift she was to us all. We will miss your smiling eyes and loving ways.
Denise, Pam, Lori & Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. Your mother Peggy was such a wonderful person. Such a great mom. I know the time I spent at the Henderson Family Home on Hwy 9 when us kids were growing up was wonderful. Your mom was a mom to all kids that came though her door. Always warm and welcoming. I hope that you all will find comfort in this difficult time. Love to all of you.
