Dear Pam and Dena and family,
It was lovely to meet you even though the circumstances weren't ideal. Marion said it much more eloquently than I could, but Peter was such a sweet soul. He barely ever spoke to me with words, but said so much with his eyes and smiles. It was hard to see him so sick, but what a treasure to have his girls at his side. What I saw was a beautiful love. He will be dearly missed. I'm sorry to have missed the services, Alicia and I were planning to attend. Please care for yourselves and take care of each other in this difficult time. You will always be in our hearts. Rest In Peace, Peter.
Love, Janine

My dear Dena......so sorry to hear about Pietro's passing away.
I can see him now with a smile breaking out on his face whenever he would see a relative or a good friend and then he
was so warm and sincere in his greeting.
My deepest condolences to you and your wonderful family.
Thinking of him always with love............Marie Panos
