Longevity is a blessing from God. Psalm 90:10 says . . .”In themselves the days of our years are seventy years; And if because of special mightiness they are eighty years, . .” Peter was blessed with years of special mightiness. May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
