It was sad to hear about Peter's passing. Although I didn't know him, Deborah, because you loved him tells me that he was such a beautiful soul. There is so much Love and Peace coming forth from his love for you and the family.

Peter, you were the sweetest soul I have ever met. I will cherish the memories I have of you . Meeting you 36 years ago through your brother Gene, yet really getting to you know over the last year and spending time with you and Deborah in Ft Myers are the memories I hold dearest. It was a gift from God to be able to spend time with you last January and then again in May to June.
I know you loved Deborah and you are finally at peace and not limited to your body anymore.
I missed seeing you Christmas but I knew you were with us in spirit. I will miss you and especially when I'm in Florida.

Rest easy Peter.
