Dear Peggy, Denise, Bobby, and Dennis, I am shocked and dismayed over the loss of Peter. We grew up together and spent so much time together. Knowing someone from childhood makes their passing even more tragic. Peter was the oldest like me and I am sure the neighborhood still remembers the pranks all the boys played. Peggy, I was content to sit with you and have tea. I love you all so much. Peter will be truly missed. He was a great person with a big heart.

Please accept my sincerest condolences on your loss. I know the pain of losing a child. It is a devastating thing.

May God hold you up and keep you in His Peace.

God Bless You All,

Deborah (Grilli) Romano
