Peggy had told me she had gout and Lupus when we were Juniors, and that it was serious. But I never realized it was so serious that she would die the next year. Shows us the need to always be prepared for eternity, doesn't it? Peggy was one of the sweetest girls I ever met. And even though she might have known life wouldn't be long for her, she studied and made good grades and was interested in giving out to others.I will miss her.

Peggy was one of my best friends. She died right before we graduated. Her funeral was on the day I married my first husband,May 3rd.She was a great friend and a christian.John Adcock
Peggy was one of the most precious and kind persons that I ever knew. It was sad to have her leave so soon and I still remember her wearing my disk in the 5th grade and coming to my baseball games to watch me. I know with her kind heart and strong faith that she has been celebrating in heaven for 40 years and will be living without pain for eternity.Judy Burkes McGough (Pinkard)
Peggy and I grew up in West End Baptist Church together in Freeport. We were also in Rainbow girls together. She was such a wonderful person. She loved God and it showed. I remember that she wanted so bad not to be sick. She would wear a lot of makeup to the doctor to hide the "yellow" tone of her skin to try to fool him. I went to visit her in the hospital just before she died. She was in a lot of pain and was medicated heavily, but I could still feel her sweet spirit in the room. I remember that she was so afraid of the dark and her parents had an eternal flame put on her gravesite. I thank God for allowing me to know her. She was so young to leave us and I miss her. I still have the clipping from her obit that was in the Facts.Karen Chance (Gleitz)
Peggy was a sweet person and she was my friend. It was hard on me when she died because we shared our problems. I wrote her a poem that year about how seldom others really deeply care and understand our trials. How hard it is to trust in sharing those things with others. She trusted me and I count it a blessing to have had those times with her.I loved her laugh and smile. I'm looking forward to seeing her again in Paradise someday.MaryJane Pratt (Boomhower)

I spent many a night on weekends with Peggy!!!! We were both members of West End Baptist Church and we were baptised at same church in Freeport. We never missed a Sunday morning service or a Sunday evening service!!!!! Those were the days when we could walk to church and back even in the late evening!!!!

I am just wondering at the posting of this message 40+ years later!!!!!
I cried my heart out when Peggy died!!!!! She was so beautiful!!!!!

Mary Jane Pratt Broomhower...apparently Peggy had other friends. In no way should you feel like it diminishes your friendship or that Peggy didn't think you were special. You must also remember she was close to Linda Broom; a sweet, loving kindhearted friend and others. Isn't that a good thing? You asked why would a comment be made at this late date, "40+ years later"? My reply to you is, is it wrong to you for people to be remembered? I hope people ALWAYS remember me in good ways. Like the love I've tried to show to all. I am a Christian too. In my studies throughout many years I've learned that being Christlike means to speak, think and act as Jesus would and as his father directed us through him. In response to your post, let me add also that I am sorry that your heart hurts for the loss of a dear and close friend. And being the age we are, we continue to lose more of those we love. I just lost my brother Mikel on April 24th, and twenty days later I lost my mom, then 26 days later I lost my stepson. With Gods help and comfort from family, friends along with comfort from the scriptures we endure.Now to reply to why I posted? As you might know we receive information on this site as emails. In looking at the recent blog that was posted the last few days I decided to look at those that died. I know they update the file when they get new information. They also asked for us to tell them any information we might know so they are able to update the list. In looking at the memorial section I was seeing if there was anyone else who had passed on that I did not know about. I began to just look at everyone...reminiscing of times past. I then realized I have never commented on Peggy's passing; therefore I did.
I suppose you and I never knew each other. If you had known me, you would have known that I have a wonderful heart, that I love people, that I am outgoing, that I am a spiritual person (always was) and that I have been blest with the love of family and dear friends. Had we met, we might have been friends then too.
I hope this helps you to understand my post. Please feel free to call me if you want to talk at (409) 299-6303; my cell. I would welcome hearing more of your stories about Peggy. I am also on facebook under my name as it is written below.
Have a wonderful day,

You ladies from West End Baptist just brought up a memory for me. Though I was a Presbyterian, I walked by West End Baptist every day. Years later in the church where I was serving as Pastor, I was sharing a story about where I grew up. A women said. . my father was the Pastor of West End Baptist. Her name was Evelyn Akers. I can't remember her maiden name, though I met her father numerous times. She was a year behind us in school and we had many friends in common. She passed away several years ago and left a legacy of faith that touched many lives and I know much of her faith formation blossomed at West End Baptist with you!
What a SMALL WORLD! What a great fellowship. . this Body of Christ.
I remember you all with great fondness.
