Dear Peter, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I know what a good son you were to your mother and how much you loved her. You made her last days a comfort, just as you've done all your life. I have many fond memories of my "Auntie Femie" ... especially of her telling me as a kid "don't step over the line!"
Much love,
Billy
