friend, Peggy Jean Swain, along with many other cherished family and friends.

Rick Rocha. She also leaves behind her grandchildren, Dustin Belk (Brandy), Vanessa Murphy
(James), and Lindsay Smith, as well as her great-grandchildren: Damon (Hannah) Belk; Mason
Belk; Tucker Ratley; Jace Ratley; Bryce Ratley; Boston Smith; and Britain Smith. One great-
great grandchild, Ivy Belk.

Oh, Patti and Tami, I am so sorry to hear about Peggy! Susie Moses shared this with me because she knew I’d want to know. She was such a special lady to our “Jack Sprat”, as she called him.
I know he would have been there for her if he had been here. Instead, he is kicking up his heels to see his friend in heaven, I’m confident. And they are giving someone a hard time about any number of things!!
Peggy was special to us all. And you both were special girls to her. God bless you All. And as Jack would say, “Peg, come on and help me pick up some cow patties for the Captain Daingerfield Days.”
So sorry to hear of the passing of Peggy. She was such a precious and talented woman. Prayers for peace and comfort for Tami and Patti and for her many friends and loved ones.
Your sweet Momma is finally in Heaven with your Dad and my parents! Where do I begin? We have so many precious memories of growing up together and the fun things our crazy parents created for us to do! I was always excited when we visited y’all! Sliding down hills on flat cardboard boxes! Camping! Hanging up paper plates to keep flies away? I could write a book! Peggy Annie will be missed by all of us but it is a comfort knowing that she is pain free and happy! We love all of you!
Sweet Tenderness was purchased for the family of Peggy Ann Maxey.
