Dear Betsy, Shelly and Jessica,
Peter a valued counselor and advisor, a warm and gracious man, who knew that the way to the head is through the heart.
We were all neighbors on Holly St. NW, I was a grantee when Peter was at Prudential and a bold funder of the Advocacy Institute, we worked together many times at the Alliance and the Independent Sector. All of that activity and action, that thought and reflection was pure joy. It's a lasting memory.
We were close enough and personal enough for me to know how much he loved each of you.
May his name be a blessing always.

Dear Goldberg Family,
Please accept my deepest sorrows and condolences. For at John 6:40, God’s words gives us hope. “For this is what the will of my Father is, that everyone that beholds the Son and exercise faith in him should have everlasting life, and I will resurrect him at the last day.” We can take comfort in knowing that what God promise’s he will see it come true. May you continue to look deep into God’s word for he gives comfort to all those seeking him.
