Dear Peter,
Many fond memories of walking through the many miles of neighborhoods to pass out literature with your brother/my good friend Frank and all of our great grade school friends of yesteryear. Getting to attend your "victory parties" was always payment enough but in reality, those long days of hanging your campaign pamphlets on the doors of your soon-to-be constituents always seemed like an adventure to me (and I'm sure all of us boys) and helped keep us busy and happy on what probably would have been a dull day. It was great seeing you a few years back on my way back from church while visiting my folks. You had stopped your car to talk with a neighbor of ours (you did have a way of remembering most everyone who supported you as senator) and it was just a blast reminiscing about the good old days from those years of campaigning. Thanks for being a great senator, a great son to your parents, a great brother to your siblings and a great role model and friend to all of us boys. May you rest in peace. God bless your family during this sad time, particularly my wonderful friend, Frank.

Hey, Peter!
I thought yesterday, the day of your funeral was the most beautiful one I have ever attended. I hoped you liked my eulogy, songs and writings...I couldn't be happier for you and hope you'll continue your good works through us from where you are...I hope it was what you were expecting!
I'll miss you terribly and I'll try to be much more like you! You know how I adored you, my Dearest Brother!

Peter, Just remember you will always be my big brother! I will love you forever and never forget you! I know you suffered greatly and I should be happy that you don't have to suffer anymore....but it doesn't make missing you any easier. Until we meet again....love your little sister Neen:)
