Dear Cynthia, Louise and Family:

It is with our deepest sympathies we will miss uncle Peter's smile, hug and kisses, (whenever) he saw myself and the girls. When Anthony died uncle Peter was right there for us. We will truly miss him. We considered ourselves blessed to have him in our lives. We will miss him but I know he will see us again in heaven greeting us with a big smile, a big hug, and a kiss. Now, may God's peace be your comfort during this time.



Love,

Kali, Kalisha, Adrienne Daniels and Mrs. Denise (Daniels) Anderson

Truly, our hearts are heavy at this time. Each time he came to South Carolina, he would visit us (no matter what time it was- Smile) We have fond memories of Peter as our neighbor and friend. He loved life and always had a sense of humor. Whatever he could do to help someone - he would do with a willing spirit.



Sorry we can not be with you during your time but you all are in our prayers.



Love Always,

My prayers of comfort are with you my family at this time. We can only lean and depend on God's untiring love and strenghth to bring us through. Uncle Peter was known to our family for cooking many of breakfast @ Russell Temple along with his famous " CHOPPED BBQUE" and God knows that you had to be a special person to get a tray of that.We can cherish some wonderful memories both up and down. Just continue to put God first and he will bring us all through this sorrowful time. He was a Brother a Father, Poppop and a uncle and a friend to many.



Love,
