To The Family



"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

St John 14:27

We sometimes ask the Lord why my loved one? He would answer you with

Proverbs 3:5

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding."



This was one remarkable woman. She was just like a second mother to my children. Every time I saw her she ran down the list of children wanting to know how everyone was and what they where doing. The last time I saw her I gave her a ride home and thank her for being there for my children. Today I want to thank you her family for sharing such a lovely person with the world

To The Family of Ms Peeples,

My deepest sympathy goes out to your family. I had the pleasure of being with Ms Peeples at a very young age. I was apart of the Rcap Youth group (Pintos Youth Club). She was just like a second mother to me and my brothers and friends. Between her and my mom I couldn’t get away with anything. Ms Peeples gave us 110% of her love and time. When we had a hard time with homework she started a home work after school program (we couldn’t take part in any fun activities if we didn’t come to tutoring). Our summers where never a bore she made sure we had much to do. She took us on trips, homework assistance, holiday festival, 4H classes what ever we needed she supplied. I have never known her to have a bad day because when ever you saw her she had a smile for you. When we moved and we lost contact I was so lost but about 2years ago my father moved across the hall from her and we could not let go of each other she was so happy to see me and my family. She sat down with me and my children and went through her Famous scrap book. She let me hold that book but made me promise to bring it back after I let my mother see it. She always said she would make me a copy but GOD had other plans for her. I will for ever remember the pictures in my heart. I really loved her. I told Ms Peeples that my success in life came not only from my mother and family but from her years of support and strict discipline. I so wished that I could have attended the funeral but time would not permit. The LORD has picked a Precious Jewel. I know he does not make mistakes. I know she is looking down on us through her Mansion Window. One more time for the road Ms Peeples: Who are we …….Pintos…….. what do we do ……ride the trail…. how far ….all the way……. how far ……all the way.

St Matthew 5:8

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see GOD.
