Peter, on this anniversary my thoughts are with you in heaven with so much of our family. Remembering how much fun we all had as kids together. At our homes and at Grandma Hattie's and Grandpa Mooney's. There are so many fond memories of how special those times are. You and my Mike never met each other but I hope in heaven you, Ellie and he are doing fun things. Most of you are together our Moms and Dads and so many who are dearly missed. Rob and I talk on occasion and he has such a special place in my heart. Today and always I send love to you!

Peter, how I remember how much fun you, Robbie, Ellie and I had on so many occasions. At parties, at our homes at Grandma's, dinners there and dinners on the 95th floors. Even more at 3180 and fishing across the street. I hope your up there in heaven hanging out with Ellie and my Mom who recently joined you. I hope you met my Mike. You will always live in my heart.

TOGETHER AGAIN
You may feel lonely,
Lost and cold.
Longing for the loved one
... You once could hold.
To bring them back
Is the desire of your heart
You believe you can not bear
From them, being apart
But remember my child
They are not gone for an eternity
For they've just gone on a journey
To a place your eyes can not see
They have gone up the mountain called Zion.
High above the clouds.
They have gone to the place
Where God's love abounds
And when His son returns
With a trumpet sound
He will lift us up so that or feet will never again
Touch earthly ground
That is when we will join
The Heavenly choir
And be given
Our one true desire
To finally see Jesus
And before Him stand
As He wipes away each of your tears
With His Gentle hand
Then He will lead you
To the ones you have missed
And He will watch as you rejoice with them
And bless you with a kiss
Then you will know
That those who left you behind
They didn't leave forever
But, only for a time
It is our blessed hope
It is God's promise to you
He has kept a place for us
And we will all be there soon
So, thru your tears call on Him
And praise Him in your day of grief
For He has brought another saint home
To where they will find healing and relief ·
