  Lisa and Family,

My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I still fondly look at pictures of your dad, mom and my mother on their trip to Florida. Your dad was a patient man! They had a wonderful friendship. I still remember your home in Detroit and Paw Paw and mom and I visiting. Time passes but memories will always remain.
Love and God's Blessings,
Sue

  All of the residents at Northridge Pines miss Peter very much. He was a very special person, eager to please everyone. He made new residents feel at home. At sing-a-longs he was the leader. He leaves a large hole.
Our condolences go to his family. He will be missed by everyone who knew him.
