What is a friend?



It is a person with whom you dare to be yourself.



You do not have to be on your guard. You can say what you think, so long as it is genuinely you.



A friend understands.



You can cry with him and laugh with him.



What is a friend? Someone with whom you dare to be yourself..



PETER WAS that kind of FRIEND …



To Peter's family he'll always be smiling down from heaven!





O God, who hast given unto Thy blessed Apostle Peter the keys to the kingdom of heaven, and the power to bind and loose: grant that we may be delivered, through the help of this intercession, from the slavery of all our sins: Who livest and reignest world without end.



Amen.

We are very sorry to hear of your loss. We know your pain and hope you can endure the feelings that you are going through. Just remember to make the most of your life. Peter wouldn't want anything less for you. Know that he's always watching out for you. In my prayers, I will ask for him to visit you in your dreams, while you sleep. Just to see that smile or to feel a hug is a joy. Look for the signs of his presence. Cherish your memories. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

With love, The Marquess Family

All of us sin either in words or deeds, But by means of Jesus's sacrifice we can receive forgiveness of our sins. Asking GOD for his forgiveness on the basis of our faith in the sacrifice of his son, GOD gives everlasting life. With deepest sympathy, may faith, love and support of family see you through.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
