Dear Barbara and your beautiful family, Please know that your beloved husband, Peter is always in our memories. We always talk about him since we bused together from East Vail to town to ski. He was delightful and happy and full of laughter. Always remembered, never forgotten, Elma and Scott

Scott and I continue to remember the wonderful memories we shared with Peter and talk greatly about him to our friends in Vail. We are also so fortunate to know about the beautiful family you all are. May God continue to give you strength and the best of health always! Elma and Scott

Barbara, thank you for the career counseling you gave me shortly after Peters passing. You were so helpful, and I appreciate how you spoke of Peter with such ease and grace, sharing his character traits and approaches to situations. You touched my heart and instilled in me even more gratitude for Peter. Blessings to you and your family. Lisa Capaldo Halbert

Dear Barbara and your beautiful family.

It is with deepest sadness and sorrow to learn of the passing of your beloved husband.

We always enjoyed seeing you and Peter in Vail either on the East Vail bus or passing you in the town of Vail.

You were always gracious and happy to talk to us.

May God give you strength in this very difficult time in your lives.
