Our hearts were saddened to learn of Peter's passing. Pete & Helen were Chapel Glen neighbors for more than 30 years and he will truly be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with Helen and his family.

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.
