I loved Ms. Peek!! She was my English teacher in high school. Sweet, sweet Lady and great teacher. Rest in peace.
Barbara, you were a perfect Football Queen. The "Queen of Queens". My head still hurts sometimes where you smacked me with a paste bottle in 7th Grade. Must have been something I said. Rest in peace sweet lady.

To Barbara's family: I taught my first two years of teaching with Barbara in Hughes Springs. She was such a loveable lady and taught me so many things about teaching. I learned to love her dearly and to appreciate her as a teacher and as a friend. May God lift you in his loving arms, hold you close and comfort you as only He can in the days ahead. My prayers are with you. Sincerely, Carol GRiffis
