Dear Irene, Mary, Nick, Steve and Leonard,
I can't express enough my heartfelt condolences to all of you. Peter was a good friend to me. Even when he didn't feel like talking to anyone, he talked to me. He always said nice things to me which made me feel special to him. I'm going to miss him so much. He is at peace and I know you will find the strength you need in the near future. I'm here for you, just right next door.
All my Love and Sympathy,
Jan Crissie

Auntie Irene, Mary, Steve, Nick, Leonard,

It's hard to say goodbye, but Uncle Pete is now at peace. He will always be with us in our hearts. Most of all, we will miss his sense of humor. You could always count on Uncle Pete for a joke. We'll hold our memories close. We love you very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Zoe se mas.

Love,
Maria, Peter, Eleni & Angeliki

Irene, my heart goes out to you, Mary and Nicholas. I will always treasure my memories of sitting at your kitchen table talking to Peter about the antique cars, his grandson whom he absolutely adored and of course you. Peter was your biggest fan who truly loved you and knew he had been blessed to have you for his wife.

Dear Irene & Mary,
Pete has gone, but will never be forgotten for his wonderful way of always cracking jokes (even when it wasn't always an appropriate time). He always made me smile cause he knew how to lighten up any situation. I love remembering him for that. My Mom & Dad loved him too, and are waiting, with Febbie as well to welcome him with open arms into a peaceful, without pain, next journey. My love, thoughts & prayers are with you both.
