Dear Cathy We are so sorry for your loss and so sorry that you and your dear sweet gentle giant had to suffer through the nightmare of cancer. Peter was such a kind and soul who will always be remembered and dearly missed? We could not be there today as our youngest grandson was very ill and we needed to care for his sister. He is home tonight and doing much better. Pneumonia is a scary thing for a 14 month old. Hope to see you up at the lake sometime. Love Keith and Gwen
