Dear Pam Barry,

We will miss Peter's smile. He was a handsome man, always ready for his "Angels on Call" house cleaners and always welcomed our prayers for him. You know that you are in our prayers.

Dear Rosemarie, Pam, Elliot and Nicole,
The memory of Peter will always bring a smile to my face. I loved the way he sang (bellowed) arias along with the radio broadcast. He always made you feel happy. We hope you are well.
Love,
