Dear family and friends, I am so deeply sorry to hear about your loss. Peter will be missed, but not forgotten because Jesus' words found at (John 5:28,29) says there will be resurrection. So what this mean is that Peter will be given a fresh new start without sickness and death (Rev. 21:4) with the prospect of living forever in a peaceful new world. (Psalms 37:29) I hope these promises found in the Bible bring comfort knowing that you have an opportunity to see him again to share more wonderful times together.
Shelley, we are so sorry to hear of Peter’s passing. We are thinking of you and know how difficult it is to lose your life’s partner. You have our heartfelt understanding of the sorrow you are feeling. Your fond memories together maybe locked away for now, but in time they will bring you joy and peace. Although time and resolve are the only healers, the warmth of your friends there will buffer the ache of loss. Human life is precious, but more precious still is the immortality of the spirit. Those we love never truly leave us and there will be times when his presence will remind you that you do not walk the path of life alone. Love from both of us.
Shelley and family- My sincere condolences. I was hurt and very saddened to see that Pete had passed. Pete and I had worked together at Lincoln and we spent many many lunches together talking. He piqued my interest in scuba diving back in 1994 to the point I got certified. To this day I still love to dive and often think of Pete. While I was at Lincoln he was always a great mentor to me and a kind friend. I am sure he will be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
So sorry for your loss Shelley. Prayers to you and your family.
