To remember Peach is easy. She and Mike were the very first to welcome us to this amazing neighborhood. She shared stories and made us feel as if we were instant friends...we were! The strongest memory is the tremendous love Mike has for Peach and Peach for Mike. Thank you for 11 years as neighbors & friends. Peach will be missed, however never forgotten. Many Blessings!

We haven't lived in the neighborhood very long, but we were very happy to have met Peach at the block party this summer. Her personality came shining through despite her physical struggles. She will be remembered.
