Dear Natalie and Peter,
I have the closest and dearest memories of Peter, Rosemary and both of you. They mean so very much to me... I have a letter in the mail to you, Natalie, which is really for Peter too. Over all the years you have been a constant presence in my mind, truly.

Dear Natalie and Peter, We are so sorry to hear of your father's passing. He was such a part of my parents lives. He also along with your mother was a great addition to our children's lives especially on their wedding days. We always rember on Andrew and Rachel's wedding last September riding in the trolley to the wedding with him. He was so happy to have been a part of the wedding.
After Dave died, they were always available to my parents and family.
All our love, Alex and Jayne...
