Peter Woodruff Ment

Nancy - I was so so sorry to hear about the loss of your son, Peter. I never met him, but I understand he was a wonderful man. I hope you can find lots of comfort in knowing that you and your husband, David, raised such a good person, and that so many of your friends share in your grief. My thoughts and my family's are with you.

Pete grew up 22 blocks from me, but I only got to know him when I had the luck of becoming his roommate my senior year in college.

My very deepest sympathies and best wishes go out to his...

We remained friends throughout his travels and mine- which were both extensive in thier own right... This is an incredible loss to all who had the blessing of meeting Peter. Through emails and visits- when I was...

Ment Family,
Thinking of you and wishing you quiet times when you’re feeling overwhelmed, peaceful feelings in the days ahead……..and the soothing comfort of those who care.

David: I was so sorry to read about your loss. I remember you telling me about your son and seeing you with him at a film at Symphony Space a few years ago. As a mother of two sons, I know how hard this must be for you and your wife. You will be in my thoughts.
