    Mr. Peake cut my hair for many years . Use to cut it at Hudson’s across from Walmart. Right now he is in heaven.

    Prayers to Mr. Peake’s family. My daddy got his hair cut at Mrs. Sherry’s as long as I can remember! I’m sure you were graciously welcomed in the arms of all your family & friends! God bless!!
