Dear Bonnie, I am so sorry to learn of Peter's passing. I enjoyed working with him at UPS and our little chats when he would come into work to do the Maine run. Also long before that when he still did delivery. You were a great wife. My sincere sympathy to you and Peter's family.

Peter had incredible courage in his long ordeal. I will remember him as the big burly bearded teddy bear who I was proud to call my first cousin. May God give strength to his angel Bonnie who cared for him so faithfully and prayers for all his family.
