Peggy Jean BoylandMy cousin Wanda was one in a million. She always called me Peggy Jean, the only one who did. It always made me smile. We were only 5 months apart and when she lived in Memphis we were more sister like. There was no awkward time or space no matter how distant our conversations or meetings has been. She truly had a heart of gold and generosity Beyond measure. I love you Wanda, love you so much Wanda. We have a little less of Gods Grace Among Us as you join the Heavenly Kingdom. Always Peggy Jean.
