I would like to extend my sincere condolences to the entire Peters family. Mr. Peters was a kind and gentle man and a wonderful Sunday School teacher. He taught my class at Providence Free Will Baptist when I was just a teen. I will always remember his smile and his laugh. I know that there are many who will miss him. God bless each of his family members, loved ones and friends.

Carrie,

I never had the pleasure of meeting your Dad, however, hearing the love and admiration in your voice when you spoke of him, I know he was a wonderful man. I know your Dad was very proud of the woman you have become and all of your accomplishments. Hold your memories of your Dad close, he is your new guardian angel. Always remember how much he loved you and how lucky you were to call him "Dad".

Our Deepest Sympathy,

Charles & Joanne Belote
