We think of you in silence and make no outward show

But what it means to loose you no one will ever know.

You wished no one farewell Nor even said "goodbye"

You were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why.

The golden heart stopped beating,

With tender hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove it, he only takes the best.

To some, you may be forgotten, to others a part of the past,

but to us, who loved you dearly, your memories will always last.



In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the NH Humane Society in Peter's name.

At his request, there will be no funeral services. Cremation care by Peaslee's Alton Funeral Home.
