“Oh Brenda, I am so very sorry for your loss. We haven’t seen each in so many years, but I have asked about you and Peter often when I speak to old friends from SMC, and have always remembered you and Peter with fondness for our youth spent together before marriage and during the carefree times of our lives.

We have lost one of the kindest and gentlest people I have ever had the privilege to know. I am feeling your pain and sorrow at this difficult time. When we meet someone who shares our joys; Who knows when we are up or down; Who shows they care in so many ways and never lets us down. That is who we can call our friend. Please extend my sympathy to your entire family and let them know how much we share their pain at this sad time. “

“Brenda – Tom just told me about Peter’s passing. He and Peter’s path crossed on the base and he knew him as a hard worker and well respected. I am in Kentucky with my daughter and her family for a visit. Mary told me some time ago about Peter’s illness, and we have both kept the two of you in our prayers. After Mary and I ran into the two of you at the Xmas house tour we couldn’t stop walking down memory lane and enjoying rehashing such sweet times of being young. Knowing Peter at the grocery store as a kid, the times at Father Andrew White and you, Mary and I going to one another’s homes, the fun times at Pennies, you and Peter getting together and how sometimes opposites are meant to spend a lifetime together. Certainly Peter was always full of life and everyone loved his smile, his laugh and his never knowing a stranger. You, his beautiful, quiet and gentle wife who not only accepted but loved this man who went “full bore” and how he always looked at you with awe in his eyes at having been so lucky. It was still there when we saw the two of you at the tour (a few years since we were teenagers!) You two certainly showed the world sometimes opposites can bring balance and bring out the very best of one another and last a lifetime It is these times that challenge us to live our faith. For certainly if the teachings of Father Andrew White days and our beliefs are there we do know Peter rests in God’s kingdom and he knows joy nothing on earth could compare. Unfortunately, for those who loved him even knowing this only can soften the loss a bit. Hopefully, the prayers of old and present friends will give all of you strength and help you move forward in this difficult time. Take care of yourself and know that much love comes your way. “

While he may no longer be present physically in life as we know it he will always be with you, Richard and Jessica in spirit and with all of us as his friends. “
“Dear Brenda and Family, I had the pleasure and privilege of working with Pete for more than 30 years. He clearly stood out in an above-average workforce.

Please accept my deepest sympathy. John Loftus”

Of this we can be certain because God always fulfills his purposes and promises. (John 5:28,29; Rev.21:4) “
“I have been searching for words to post here since I heard the news. On the way home today I was listening to a song that finally inspired me. The words were ‘it’s not what job you had, where you lived, it’s the life you lived that matters…” After seeing the lines all the way around Towne Florist before during and after Prayers and hearing the beautiful testimony at both the Prayers and the church service, it’s obvious Peter, and indeed all of you, lived a good life. You are a beautiful family and I know that your love and grace will sustain you, till we meet again. “
