My deepest sympathy on your loss.
I remember Peter when he lived down the street from us. He was good friends of my parents. I was about four years old and called him "Peppa". My father and I went to visit Peppa. He was playing a harmonica. I was fascinated by it. Before we left, he gave it to me. It is now 58 years later, and I still have and occasionally play that harmonica. Still has a beautiful sound. I always thought of Peppa when I played it. Now when I play it, I will remember how beautiful Peppa was.
May his memory be eternal.

Only the beautiful shell God wrapped Peter in is gone. Spirit lives on. Love never dies. The only comfort we have at a time like this is knowing we will all be together again. God speed in your family's healing
