To the Horton family, our hearts are saddened by the passing of this precious Christian Lady! Brother Herb and Ms Peggy's faithfulness to our Lord was such a great blessing to me and our church family. They loved each other and conducted themselves at all times with love and a caring spirit! Both of them so faithful to the ministry at Victory! Sister Peggy will be greatly missed. Our thoughts, prayers, and love for you Brother Herb, your daughters, and the whole family! May I state, there will be a reunion day, and I believe the coming of our Lord is near! Look up faithful brother, today may be the day! God bless! Your brother in Christ, Pastor Morelock
