    It was a pleasure to have known Peggy. She and Pat Mattox came to visit me several years ago. We were long lost cousins. I will never forget that wonderful smile of hers and the many hours we spent doing family research and getting to know one another. God bless her and her family. Beverly Flaton, buffie@wowway.com
