When I was in high school, Johnny and I were good friends. I spent many nights at the McPeek house on South Lime. Mrs McPeek was always gracious and easy going. I miss Mary Lee and seeing Johnny. I´ve since moved to South Carolina. God Bless the McPeek family.

Son Johnny and I were good friends in high school. I spent a lot of time at the McPeek house and Lexie was always a joy to be around. She always treated me like family. Such a wonderful person and fine lady.

So many memories in the McPeek household. Johnnie and I were good friends in high school. I didn´t know Mary Lee had passed until a couple of years ago. Mrs McPeek was wonderful to me whenever I visited.
