To a lady who taught me what it takes to be an awesome mother in law. We never had a disagreement in 33 years. I will miss the brisquet, corn bread, hearing her call me "hon" and that sweet Texas accent. I know you are out of pain but you leave a tremendous ache in my heart. Forever in my heart your daughter in law Kris

Peggy, Bobby and I will so miss you..Bobby said you were more of a sister than a cousin as he is an only child, and ya'll were always so close growing up. I personally felt like we were cousins all our lives as Two of my Mothers brothers, married two of your Daddy's sister, and all our reunions were together. Then when I married your cousin, that really made you my cousin then...Bobby is taking this hard, but he also knows, we will see you again in Heaven..All our love...Bobby and Virginia(Ginny) Laurens
