Bill and Peggy were are neighbors for years on 7th street. The kindness they showed us was so special. Bill used to come out and give Bubba and Spike treats. I remember doing dishes and watching the TV he had rigged up outside on the patio through my window. He was always willing to help us or borrow us a tool or ladder when we needed one. My goodness he spoiled us. Westin was pretty upset when I told him Peggy. Peggy you and your family are in our in our prayers. He was the BEST.
