Jack, Peggy, Pam and Leigh.
Becky is now in a much better place. No sickness, no sorrow and with God, His Angels and Her "Sonny".
Even though we are unable to be with you and her on this day, we are with you in Spirit. Let God take away the hurt, sorrow and Pain and remember always, Becky and her smile, and what a beautiful smile it was.
God is taking care of her now and has healed all her wounds and sorrows.
God Bless the rest of the family.

I remember seeing The Peek family at Church, school & at the mall. Becky was so bubbly and always had a smile. The sort of person you can't wait to talk to when you see them coming. I remember how all the members of this loving family always reached out to embrace those around them and truly cared about everyone that had the good fortune to cross their path. I am thankful that they were a part of my world when I was growing up even if only in casual passing. They made a difference! Rest well sweet Becky and enjoy the reward in heaven and the treasures you earned up there while here in God's service. GOD BLESS! My heart goes out to all Becky's family and friends. I think the best way to honor Becky's memory is to pass along a smile or a kind word like Becky did!

Although your work on earth is done
Your life in heaven has just begun.
Your struggles here were hard and long
But they're over now, you're finally home.

Life wasn't easy, by choice or fate
A decision made, sometimes too late.
A fight to the finish, always strong
Rest easy, you're finally home.

Dear Uncle Jack, Aunt Peggy and Cousins.

Since Becky was a little girl you'd always see her with a big smile on her face and those pretty eyes watching everything.
I remember how when our families visited she was eager to play and at the same time ask a lot of questions about anything. she wanted to know, she had a natural inquisitiveness.
She grew up to be a pretty southern lady and continued to smile at whatever challenge life threw at her, she was strong and stubborn, also kind and gentle.
She was a great person that cared for her relatives and anyone that asked for her assistance, loving daughter, sister and wife.
She`ll always have a special place in our hearts.
Mickey

Dear Jack and Peggy,

I have fond memories of you as a child when we lived across the street from one another. At that time Pam was an only child.

Peggy, I remember your visit when mother passed. It was comforting to see you and it meant so much to me.

I knew Pam as a child. You made a necessary move because your family began to grow.

It appears Becky was dearly loved and lived life to the fullest extent. The written memories are certainly fond ones. I am sure she will be sorely missed.

I am so sorry you lost your dear Becky. I know it wasn't easy for my mother when David passed. I will have you in my thoughts and prayers. I will ask God to give you peace because I know this is a very difficult time. I pray your loving memories in the days ahead console you all.

Should you need anything please call on me. My sincerest and deepest sympathy,

Becky will be missed by all of her "Palmetto Drag Racer's Club" family. After the untimely death of her husband, and our racing buddy Sonny, Becky partnered with the club to begin the "Sonny Greer Memorial Drag Race" event. She and her family provided prizes, trophies and financial support for this race for 10 years. We will miss her enthusiasm, her sweet smile and generous spirit. We will cherish those late race nights and the fun we shared in all that is drag racing. At the track among fast cars,loud engines, burning tires and fuel smells Becky was the butterfly. She would arrive in latest fashion with trophies and prizes in tow to award to race winners late that night. A way for her to keep Sonny's memory alive...we will so miss you Becky

We were all devastated by the sad news of Becky's passing. Many of her colleagues and friends have expressed their deepest sympathy. Although I did not personally meet or know Becky, the out pouring of stories and tributes to her has been deeply moving. She was certainly loved, valued, and respected as a colleague and friend in the college and will certainly be missed.

My heart breaks for you for the loss of your beautiful daughter and sister. Becky was a true friend. We laughed and shared as we traveled and enjoy supporting the Gamecocks on trips to Georgia,Tennessee, Clemson, Ole Miss, Out Back Bowl, SEC Championship, Chick-Fil-A Bowl. When we worked together we worked hard, but we laughed and cried and shared. I will think of her each day as I have in the past. She will be in my heart and thoughts forever.
