I noticed your father's obituary on-line this morning. It made me think back to those days when Ruth, Robert and I were in the same youth group at First Mennonite those many years ago.
My sympathy to your family. God has taken His loved one Home. May the Lord comfort and sustain you and bring you His perfect peace.

I so enjoyed my time with Peter at Central Haven. Listening to his stories of Russia as he would show me his handerchiefs from long ago. The trips he and his wife would take across North America, or just quietly sitting together watching the birds at the feeder outside his window. I am blessed to have known him.
