Our deepest sympathy & love are given to Mrs. Peters' family in your time of loss. Mrs. Peters was a wonderful person & was greatly loved by my son RJ more as a grandmother than a tutor. We were truly blessed to have her & her family as a part of our lives. Mr. Carlton & Ms. Julia we love you & will keep you in our thoughts & prayers!! Heaven has called home an angel and she will be greatly missed!

Ms. Peters was my teacher in fourth grade. She inspired her students!! She read Charlotte's Web to our class and I remember looking forward to the next day - just to hear her read! She made the characters come alive! I will never forget my time with her. The Peters family should be very proud of their loved one that impacted so many kids in a positive way!! She will be missed!

I am so sorry to hear about Mrs.Peters passing away.I loved being in her 4th grade class at benton school. She was a true christian & had the Love of God all over her. She will be missed by many. I have listen to BRO Carlton preach many times on the radio & my grandmother would say yes son he is good but behind every good man of God you will find a good woman .. Mrs Peters was just that .. May the lord Bless you Bro Carlton.. Hang in there the Lord will see you through.........
