While learning about Peggy’s hardships from a siblings text with the Stewart clan, we were discussing how Peggy reminds us of the Proverbs 31 woman – “a wife of noble character “. She did all she could for her family, and gained the respect of all of us. May she rest in the arms of her Savior.
Sorry for your loss! Prayers for Family and Friends! David Hammer
