This morning I read the sincere and loving comments made by so many family members and friends as they poured out their hearts to express their condolences and deep sadness for the Norcia family's loss and for their own personal loss. Peter John was more than a terrific
husband, father, grandfather and friend, he was a terrific person, blessed with a heart, mind and spirit full of Love, Generosity, Compassion and an innate commitment to make everything
he encountered the best it could be. Peter was a Super Star in every sense. For we who have been blest with the gift of knowing Peter, we
understand Peter was a shining example of what we all aspire to be. It is going to be difficult, for so many, without Peter but Peter left us with a lifetime of great memories, numerous funny stories, a better community and the idea that we will all be together again. Peter's faith reminds us that someday we will be with God in Heaven and I fully expect to find Peter waiting to welcome us home.
With Deepest Sympathy & Love,
