I will never forget the first time I went to their house to get fitted for my cheerleader uniform, her and Peachie were so kind and friendly. Princes and Peachie became very close friends to my parents and the family. I loved them both with all my heart. I still look out my mom's kitchen window waiting to see Peachie drive down the road towards my mom's just to way at us. I love you both and will forever cherish your memories. My deepest sympathies to the entire family.
