My heart hurts for all the family. I loved our JuJu Bean. Praise the Lord, she is no longer suffering and is reunited with Bill. Love to all of the Peters/Mundell family.
There just are not enough words to describe what wonderful of a person Judy was, and I had only known her for a few short years. Her bright smile will always be missed. All my thoughts and prayers are with the Peters and Mundell families.
Our deepest sympathy to the family of a lovely lady. Prayers are with you all.
What a special lady! When I think of her, I think of her ready smile and her welcoming presence.♥️
I was one of her art students at Indian Heights elementary many years ago. She was the sweetest. I always looked forward to her art class every week. I will never forget her. Prayers for her family.❤️
Such a beautiful lady! Fun and super talented. Sending heartfelt condolences to her family.
Mrs. Peters was my elementary art teacher at Indian Heights years ago. I think I can speak for many of her students when I say we always appreciated her patience, kindness, warmth, and willingness to awaken and instill the the creative and artsy bug inside of us all. Many of us didn’t know we needed someone like her to spark that inspiration, but we learned just how important that was- I sure have. Such a kind and inspiring lady. My sincere condolences to her loved ones during this time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time of loss.
Thank you Darrell,
Terry and family
