Dear Penny and Family,
I send you my condolences. I met you and Peter may years ago, when I house-sat for you. Peter showed me how he made little trees for the special effects for a commercial and how he lit the little candles on your Christmas tree, a German tradition. My you find comfort in knowing that Peter made an impact on a young college student, with his kindness in sharing his these things with me.
