DONALD E. PETERS

The Peters Family:

I was very saddened to learn of your father's passing. I met your father only once, but that was enough time for me to recognize that I had met a true gentleman who was someone I hoped to meet again.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Donna and Kim

We are so sorry to hear about the lose of your Dad. He was truly a very special person to all who knew him and shared his passion for all others around him.

Your Aunt Marlene and Uncle Mike always spoke so highly of not just your Mother but also your Dad.

After you lost your Mom, your Aunt Marlene being very ill, she grieved her lose so deeply and she still after almost 2 years misses her very, very much. I am sure you both know her sadness,...

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Donna and Kim,

I do not have to tell you what your mom and dad meant to me. All those Tuesday pizza nights!! After I lost Greg, they took me in as their own, watching over me with goodness and kindness, always looking out for me and my house....and always talking about their daughters. They so loved you both......now they are once again together....but your loss is deep and painful. Please know that there are few people who have ever lived who were more gracious and good than...

Dear Kim, Donna, Steve, Matt and Zach,

We are so sorry to about the passing of your Father/Grandfather. Don was the most incredible man I have ever met. He would always smile when he saw you and had the warmest handshake I have ever felt. I know that when Ann, myself and the kids ever visited we felt so welcome at your home and you always had something for the kids to do and play with. I will never forget the night we did the Madison Ave. pub crawl and all you kept saying was "just...

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.
