Ken and I want to send our love and prayers for all the family members of Mr. Peacock. He was an inspiration to our precious granddaughter Jazmin Johnson and we thank God he was there for her and her mom. He wasn't just a grandpa he was her friend. We are there in spirit for all of you who know Richard. God Bless and may God shine upon you all.
