Everyone is special in their own way. Peachie was special in just about EVERY way possible. I feel so blessed to have known her. A remarkable, beautiful woman who will never be forgotten and her love and compassion For others will truly carry on as shes instilled this with her beautiful daughter and the love of her life, Amirah! I pray for you all and Im willing to bet that shes still got your back in one way or another. The physical body may pass but the love lives on forever! That said, I am so sorry for your loss.

Im so saddened by this news. Peach our last conversation was very heavy on the heart and you knew it was time. Youre finally free from pain and no longer suffering. Im going to miss our conversations, and the stories we shared. Im going to miss your bluntness, your honesty, your smile, your laughter, your encouraging words, and your life long friendship. Im going to miss all the pranks,And all the jokes. Im missing bringing you homemade bread and strawberrry Fanta soda. Im going to miss the 3am random phone calls waking me up to tell me story you remember about the times you had with my mom. Youre finally pain free peach. Youre with your nana, and my mom. Im sorry for your loss Joan, John, johnathan, chicken, Alex, Carly, and sweet baby cheeks. If the family needs anything at all please dont hesitate to call.
