  1. Our deepest sympathies to you, Katy and Rocky. Our GOD will send his ministering Angels to comfort you.

  2. Peter was a good, strong man who we will always remember with love and admiration. Peace and pleasant memories to his family.

  3. Dear Faith: I am so sorry about the loss of your dear husband. In time,God will heal your process of greiving. As a believer,I have hope in the resurrection and as a believer, we need to brace ourselves for that ressurection hope when we will see our loved ones again. Take care off yourself. Peter would want you to do that based on what I have heard you say from time to time about him. Phyllis

  4. My heartfelt condolences and apologies for not being able to attend the memorial tribute in person. A schedule conflict with an award cermony for one of my children keeps me away, and I am confident Peter would understand. Several years ago I was asked if I could go meet Peter in the hospital because he was bored stiff and would love some company. The Nusing Manager at the time knew I was a hunter and that Peter had mentioned he at one time loved to hunt, she called me and asked if I would mind. The rest, as they say, is history. I visited Peter along with some of my turkey calls and we hit it off. Subsequently I saw him many times as a patient and then a volunteer and unfortunately as a patient again. Knowing Peter has meant a great deal to me and he has had a profound impact on how I go about my daily life. I will miss Pete but I will never forget him.
