You've left us Uncle Peter, to rise above. I hope you are happy and feel our love. Your body has died, but your soul lives on. Inside of all of us, never to be gone. A special person, you were to me. I don't understand why it was you God chose. Was your purpose over, come to a close? Death is hard to accept in those we hold near. The reasons just never seem quite clear. I'll never forget you, though it hurts to think I'll see you no more and all the things I wish I said before. Now we must live, smiling through the pain from the memory of you, we can only gain. I will miss you always and carry you in my heart. Love Peggy and family.
