Dear Susan and family....
We will keep Peter, you and the family in our thoughts and prayers. I know that the whole LaValley family will do the same. You were a part of our extended family during childhood and I was in Karen´s class in grammar school. I remember shared memories of you and the Fontaines. If ever you get back to Florida, I would love to talk to you again person-to-person. We have lots in common. God bless Peter, you and your family.
