Alison my deepest sympathy for your family’s loss.
I know it is hard to say goodbye to someone you expect
To always be there. I will remember your father and
Family in my prayers.
Alison,
I’m very sorry to hear about the passing of your father. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Words cannot express the sadness you feel,
Only love and prayers to help you heal,
Life is precious, life is fleeting,
In the heavens he waits to give you his greetings
Deepest Sympathy to the Peters family
