Dearest Carol,
We heard of Peter's passing yesterday at St. Augustine's 4 o'clock mass; we were away when Pater passed. We sat behind you at St. Augustine's Church in the back. Our deepest sympathy to you and your family on your very precious loss. It was obvious what an attentive, kind and loving wife you were. From the time we met Peter we could see what a loving, kind man he was and for a very short time ~ a very dear acquaintance and church friend. We have prayed for you and Peter since we first met you and were praying up to the time we heard of his passing. Our prayers will continue. Missed you at church since your absence; hope to see you soon. With love and prayers, Terry and Mark Libby

To Rosemary & family,

I don't know if you remember me. I was Susie Miller from Medford. My mother was Sylvia Miller. My family had a close relationship with your mother & you. Your family was always very special to us & my aunt & uncle, the Lefflers, too. I remember you visiting me in the hospital when I had my tonsils out when I was five. I am 71 now.

My deepest condolences to you & your family. You are all in my prayers.

With love,

Suzy Cronk
