Dear Donna and Dennis,

We are thinking of you and Peter in this time of sorrow. We know the emotions are hard but the memories are stronger. Your times with Peter on this earth are indelible. They will survive the sorrow. Know that you have good friends with you.

Love, Greg and Sharon

Dennis and Donna, my thoughts and prayers will be with you as you attend the services for Peter. My prayer for you is that the reflection of your time spent with Peter will bring you a feeling of warmth, knowing how much love you shared with him when you were together. He was a lucky man to have such a caring and loving brother and sister-in-law. The goodbye will not be easy but I hope those memories will eventually bring you peace and replace the pain you feel today and that the knowledge that Peter is in a much better place with our Lord in heaven somehow bring you comfort. May God's healing power be with you during this time.
