Dear Delores, My heart aches for you and your family. I cannot fathom the depth of your sorrows at this time. Chuck & Kathy, Mike & Mary, Bob & Sue losing a father is horrific. Words cannot express how much it hurts. Andrew, you gave grandpa the best gift he could ever ask for CPR. Your mom was so proud of you it brought tears to my eyes when she told me. People can learn from the Peters Family what the word family means.

I would like to extend my sincere condolences to the family of Mr. Charles E. Peters Jr. Having loss a dear loving father in death I can truly understand the pain and sadness your family is experiencing. I find comfort in the Bible where it assures us that "Our Heavenly Father will wipe out every tear from our eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore the former things have passed away". May this text comfort you also.
