- Peggy died July 23, 1999.
- Oh!

1:39:04
And at this time,
Peggy's younger daughter...

1:39:07
Latre--
1:39:10
- Latrelle.
- Latrelle...

1:39:12
would like to say a few words
in memory...

1:39:14
of her dearly departed mother.
1:39:18
Thank you, Brother Barnes.
1:39:21
And, uh, thank y'all
for coming here today.

1:39:26
What a nice turnout.
[ Sniffles ]

1:39:30
As many of you know,
my mama was not right...

1:39:35
for the last six months of her life.
1:39:37
- Scootch over, honey.
- She abandoned her sense of
morality and upbringing...

1:39:41
and started running around with...
1:39:44
riffraff.
1:39:46
Oh, Lord.
1:39:49
[ Murmuring ]
1:39:51
I took her to the doctor
over in Snyder a few months ago...

1:39:54
and they found a lemon-sized
cancerous tumor on her brain.

1:40:00
- No!
- Yes!

1:40:02
- What'd she say?
- Un tumor.

1:40:04
It was inoperable
and growing... rapidly.

1:40:09
Mama asked me to tell no one...
1:40:12
and I kept her secret till now.
1:40:17
But it's time to clear your name, Mama.
1:40:21
What happened was the tumor grew...
1:40:23
and it pressed up against...
1:40:27
the-- well, the, uh...
1:40:31
sexual part of her brain.
1:40:33
This is gonna make us look better?
1:40:36
The tumor turned my mama
into a nymphomaniac.

1:40:39
She wasn't no nymphomaniac.
I'll tell you that.

1:40:42
So I wanna ask on behalf
of my grieving family...

1:40:46
that y'all... forget...
1:40:49
the circumstances
surrounding Mama's death...

1:40:52
and remember her for the good
Christian woman that she was...

1:40:57
before the tumor destroyed
her health and her morality.
