Dear Phil and family,
We are very sorry to hear about Peter’s passing. We can’t imagine what you must be going through but we hope cherished memories will bring you peace and comfort during this difficult time.
Our deepest condolences to Aunt Phyllis and family. Uncle Peter will be greatly missed. May God’s loving embrace bring you peace and comfort during this difficult time.
We send our condolences to Auntie Phyl and family. We have offered up a mass for Uncle Peter’s soul and pray that he rests in peace. May perpetual light shine upon him and may you find joy in remembering all the special moments you have shared over the years. My mom showed us pictures taken with him on one of her trips a long time ago.
He has touched many lives in his time here. God bless and watch over you.
Dearest Phyl and Family,
Peter was an exemplary member of our family – always caring, willing to share, smiling, jovial. Although we only saw him once or twice a year since we moved to the US, we always enjoyed the visits. Yes Wayne, he was definitely a “family oriented person” and that was not limited to his immediate family.
We will remember him as a peacemaker because his advice usually included the phrase … “for a peaceful life, we should….” Blessed are the Peacemakers for they will be called children of God.
God blessed him with a long life and a loving family. May he rest eternally in the arms of our Savior’s Holy Family.
We pray for his soul and peace for all of you as you grieve his loss. Until we meet again, Peter “au revoir”.
Thank you all for your kind thoughts and prayers
they are greatly appreciated
