Zeke, we spent many days hunting together. You were always a pleasure and always added to the experience! My condolences to the family but be happy for Zeke; he's moved on to greener pastures. God Bless Him...

My deep condolences to the Peake Family in the loss of your very committed loved one to his family and extended family. Sandra and I played ball together at SHS and stayed in touch throughout the rest of her life on Earth. My memories of Sandra are still strong and occur over and over. We were so involved with the family when my husband was alive but time has lessened our interaction in the RUSH of "living" today.l The Null Family has always been a part of that interaction, also. My sympathy to them also, especially Virginia and Sally whom I also knew from SHS. God bless you all in your grief with the knowledge that you will all be reunited one day around the Throne of God.
