I met Mrs. Daye at Heartcare.. Everytime she would come in, I would always call her to my desk and check her in before she set down. I would always tell her how much I miss her and how much I loved how she dressed. She was one of my favorite patients at heartcare. I will miss her sweet voice and friendly face. To the family, you have my deepest condolences. She was a beautiful woman with so much class and grace. I will miss her so much. Sleep peacefully My sweet Mrs. Daye... Love Meeka

I met Ms. Peggy Daye through my sister Kim who was dating her son Lamont. She was Godmother to my niece Spencer, but most importantly she was a family friend. It's rare you meet someone who is beautiful inside an outside- Ms. Peggy was that beautiful.RIP
