Patty and Don
I’m so sorry for your loss! May Gods peace be with you and your family. May you feel his comfort and love.
All of us that work with Patty know Mrs Hayes as Meme. She was quite the genuine individual and enjoyed many escapades with Patty over the years since Mr. Hayes passed away. I know she's skipping on the streets of gold arm in arm with him now praising their savior all the day long. Oh what a glorious day! Sending love to Patty, Don & the girls as well as Cindy & family.
To all of the immediate family of aunt Peggy may God fill the loss in your heart and secure your minds with precious memories of all of the support and Christian life your mom blessed you with. I can help but remember the few times we met in Winston Salem N.C . Take Care Jeff Sweet
Thank you for being my friend. I miss visiting with you and look forward to seeing you again.
