Dearest Mary Ellen and Family, You and Peter were the family I never had. Both of you nurtured me and helped me grow into a person who could live life on my own terms. I love you so much and I give thanks that you both took me in and made me a part of your family. Peters legacy will live on forever in the hearts of all of us who had the privilege to know and love him.
