Not sure what to say?

Peter was a business associate and dear friend of mine at KPMG. We worked closely together and and he was a consummate professional and a wonderful human being. My sincere condolences to Elaine and the rest of the family.

Peter and I were contemporaries, dating two girls who were roommates for six or seven years. After we all finally married and they shared the maid of honor dress for each other's ceremony, we kept up the close relationship, even though eventually far apart physically.

Dear Elaine, Rachel, and Lauren, Joe and I are saddened to learn of Peter's passing. His smile, laughter, and kindness was contagious. He will be missed. With sincerest sympathy, Mindy and Joe
