Not sure what to say?

Dear Linda ,

I often think about you and our epic and fun trip to Minas Gerais . We lost touch during the various moves and our computer was fried by lightning while in our container so I lost all addresses etc .

On a whim I decided to see if I could trace you through the internet . I found Peter`s obituary today . I am sad to hear of your loss , in our short friendship it was clear that you were soulmates .You are such a warm and kind person and I am sure that your...

Dear Linda, Peter called me Rockie and I called him "The Farb." On a summers evening about 1957, Pete had a no hitter going and I was the next to last batter. He had a very intimidating fastball and as I stood at home plate I began to shake. The umpire looked at me and said," what"s wrong son," and I mumbled," I"m scard." Five terrifying pitches later the count was 3 and 2 when the HEAT arrived at the plate once again. I swung for my life and to my very great supprise I heard my bat hit...

Dear Linda & Family,
Sorry to hear about Pete. He was a cousin and neighbor when we were both growing up on Pearl Street in Kingston. He was always a kind of paragon of common decency, strong and gentle... A straight forward, nice guy. Linda, I was glad you two found each other. It was great to meet up with you two in Red Deer last year. I am thankful for that chance, no matter how brief.

Dear Linda and family,
I am saddened to learn of Peter's death; it was much too soon. Please accept my sincere sympathy and hopes that your loving memories of your time with Peter will sustain you all. I also hope that your strength and your caring family and friends help you in the days and weeks ahead.

Dearest Linda,

It is hard to comprehend that Peter has left this world. He was a giant in his industry and a soft gentle man in his relationships with his family and friends. He accomplished so much and everyone he interacted with is richer to have known him. We offer our deepest sympathy. Our Love, Barbara & Joe Cohen

Dear Ned and family - We are so saddened by this loss. We know that your memories will help you through the difficult days ahead. Our heartfelt condolences to all - Love, Marco and Ellen

Linda, you don't know me but I grew up with Peter and his brother Ned in Kingston, NY. When we were kids I spent a lot of time with the Goldfarbs at their house on Pearl Street. Ned and I are about the same age and Peter (my younger brother as I called him) used to do just about everything together. I haven't seen Pete in many years but I will never forget our childhood together. Please accept my deepest condolences on his passing. George Kotrady St...

Dear Linda,
I am so sad to hear of Peter's death. Please accept deepest condolences from Mike and myself. I am glad that Mike and I had the brief opportunity to share a bit of time in Paris. It is good to know that you and Peter shared many wonderful times with each other
