A pleasant lady and faithful member of the First Christian Church in Torrance, Virginia always had a smile on her face and a kind word for everyone. Harding, she is probably getting your next house in Heaven ready for you right now. Our thoughts are with her and the family.

Peck Family,
Please accept my sympathy for the loss of Virginia. I worked at Narbonne for years in the Main Office and she was always willing to help substitute. A special person to know.

I had Mrs. Peck as my PE teacher back in 1971 at Narbonne High School. She was a very nice woman and a good teacher. It seems she lived a long and full life with many family and friends who loved her. My sympathy for your loss.
