My Dear Sister,
I don't know how I will get over your leaving so soon. I will miss you more than I can even image today. You always had something funny to say when we talked. I will miss calling you to ask how to cook something, usually how to cook collards!
Love you and missing you!

This is the second day that I've read this obituary. I'm lost for words. For me this is so unreal. I called her my sister. We had become so close. She was the nicest person I have known. Over 40 years of knowing each other. My heart is broken. I'm going to miss you Peggy Sue. You will be in my thoughts every single day. I'm still looking at my phone wanting to call you I miss you dearly rest in heaven we will see each other again LOVE YOU.
