Dear Peter,
I was sad to hear of your father’s death and, more particularly, that I just read of his passing and visitation this evening (Monday). With your terrific family, I know you’ll have plenty of support, not to mention your family at Miss Katie’s. Linda and I will toast to his life tonight over Glorioso’s spedini.
Jessica and I are so glad we got to know Peter over the years. His smile would light up the room. He will forever be in our hearts.
