Helen,Gael, and Pam,
Please accept my most heartfelt sympathy for the passing of your Dad. The few times that I had met with Pete, his warm and humorous personality always made me feel like one of the family.
To quote and old Irish saying " Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, Love leaves a memory no one can steal." My thoughts and prayers will be with you all.

Dear Helen & Family:
We were very saddened to hear the news of Peter's passing. He was
a great friend and I'll always cherish the great telephone conversations and the time we had together. We are so happy we were able to see him at the Hospital several weeks ago. He seemed in good spirits and was looking forward to going home.
We know how much he'll be missed and we send our condolences to all of you at this special time of sorrow. You are in our thoughts and prayers. If we can be of any help or assistance, please feel free to call us anytime.
Our Love & Prayers,
Jake and Norma Jacobson
