I will remember the great family times we had together. Growing up with such wonderful aunts and uncles was a real privilage. I will remember Uncle Peter with admiration, respect and love. I will miss him, but I know I'll see him again in glory. Praise God!

Aunt Gari, Alexis, Glen, and Nathan, you all have my deepest sympathy.

Love,

My deepest sympathies to Alexis and Mrs. Peponis, my former neighbors. I remember Mr. Peponis on his riding mower-with a smile on his face!

My family sends our heartfelt condolences. Tom G. Peponis was my mother's physician many years ago and I often accompanied her on her visits. I thought it was outstanding to know it was a family practice. Everyone was so friendly.

Please know that you are in our thoughts and our prayers. God Bless.

Remembering the good times we had with family and Uncle Pete. Here's hoping you're able to find comfort in the happy memories. Our hearts and our prayers are with you at this time of sorrow. Uncle Pete will live in our hearts always. We weep not for Uncle Pete for he is in God's Glories Kingdom but for us on Earth. May his memory be eternal! Love in Christ, Mary Ellen and Alan
