Not sure what to say?

Dear Li, Sam, and Jordan,
We think of you everyday as we see 3 Agassiz Park and remember the many happy memories there are of all of you and Peter/your Dad there--dear, sweet, Peter, I can't think of a better neighbor and friend. He was always willing to answer our many questions about this molding or that fixture and encourage us when we felt like what did we get ourselves into? We were thrilled to finally have the room done to have his 50th birthday party here and meet so many more...

Dear Li, Sam and Jordan,
The summer of 1980 was spent hammering nails with Peter on Shawmut Ave. in Boston. It has always been a wonderful, fun memory that I hope to share some day with all of you.
The service was beautiful.
My deepest sympathy to you.

Dear Li, Jordon, Sam and the Bensleys, Both Merija and I send our deepest sympathy. As your neighbor for several years, we came to love Peter for his generosity, enthusiasm, and heartfelt friendship. Even though it has been many years since we have seen him, he held a special place in our heart as one of the most solid guys we have ever known, Our thought are with you.

My deepest sympathy to all.

Dear Li, Sam, Jordan, Chris W. and all of the Bensley clan,
Peter was an exceptional person. We feel privileged to have known him and for him to consider us his friends. He gently invited those around him to grow and we did. His inviting smile, his readiness to help, his love for all of you...we will always remember. Words are not enough to express our sorrow. We are here for you now and always.
All our love,

Dear Li, Sam, Jordan & Chris (Wms.)
My heart is broken for you all! It is too much to comprehend - too sad to believe -- way too hard for you all to bear. Know that I love you all, and will do anything you need me to do at any time, immediately or down the road. Please remember I am there for you.
With much sorrow,
Christian
