To the Mazar Family & Barry,



My deepest sympathy for your loss and ours. Peter's decorating talent was so inspiring. Thanks to Peter St Monica Church was the most beautifully decorated at Christmas and Easter. I got a lot of ideas from his skills for decorating my own home. Thank you Peter. You will be missed.

I am stunned and deeply saddened by the loss of my friend. Peter did the one thing that characterizes any true friend: he made me laugh. Uproariously, joyously, and with abandon. His eloquence, knowledge, and insight were singular and irreplaceable. I will miss him always. My deepest sympathies to you, Barry, and to his family as well.
