Hope & Peter...

For those of you who have been following Peter's medical updates from Hope, their story has been so much a testiment of their love. The following is the message I received last night. I do hope that it is not the last one as I know Hope's love for Peter will continue forever.

Dearest Family and Friends,  

Peter received God's Perfect Healing at 7:25pm on December 20, 2008 in his home with loved ones around.  

There will be 2 memorial services; one in Middlebury, Indiana on Sat 12/27 (time TBA) @ River of Life Fellowship, and the other in Wakefield, Massachussetts on Sat 1/3/09 11am @ 1st Parish Congregational Church.  

We both thank all of our family & friends for the overwhelming love and support we have received throughout this past year's journey, we were truly blessed!   May god Bless you all and your families also this Christmas Season!  

Much love and many hugs,  
Hope and Peter

My heart is with Hope and family and the many friends, Peter & Hope shared. Much Love, More Hugs & Endless Blessings, Gail

I am heartbroken for Hope.  I am also happy for Peter to be in Heaven and out of the body that so quickly was failing.  He is in no pain now and is celebrating with God. 

My prayers are with Hope and the family.

Sherri, my prayers are with you especially today.  I know how heavy your heart is to have lost Peter and Jean both.  I am sending you the biggest, warmest hugs.  I love ya!

Thank you Tracy. I woke up at 1:45 this morning and couldn't go back to sleep. So..I cut me up an apple and checked my email. After reading about Peter as well, I decided to try to camp out in my recliner instead. When Bill got up and I told him about Peter, he well understood why I didn't come back to bed instead.

I am happy for Peter & Jean that they are no longer in pain. My mind is rolling with thoughts today however for those they touched; Bill, Suzie, Bob....Hope and their 3 sons. I'm glad that I have a full plate planned between now & Christmas. It'll give my mind a break. A small one though unfortunately since it is accustomed to multi-tasking. I am going to try to keep it focussed on all the wonderful things that made these two people such loving individuals.

Peter recieved his diagnosis right about the same time I recieved mine. Althougth I never had the chance to meet him during run in's for treatments, he never ceased to cross my mind and my prayers. Especially these past months as I've struggled with severe depression questioning my cancer survivial and others that I knew (like my father and Peter) weren't so lucky. It's been such a deep issue with me that I've had to see counceling but yet the tears never cease to flow so harsh whenever the thought creeps back into my mind. 

I'm not attempting to make this about me... sorry.

My thoughts and prayers have always been with Peter. I can only imagine how hard he fought as I know how hard I put in during my short struggle. He was an angel on earth before he even knew it. Hope is and was his greatest inspiration to stay here.... their love. 

My heart poors out for them both for their seperation and my hope and prayers goes out to their greif that will eventual heal thru time. 

Oh what a glorious reunion they shall have when their time comes. 

 

With Blessings

What a blessing Peter & Jean were- and now they are being rewarded with eternity in heaven!!!!No more pain, sorrow, suffering, only JOY!!! As we are sad for your loss, & we rejoice with you that their love is forever. One day you will be reunited and share that joy. They both loved life and you, & I know you will sorely miss them.

I know that as we are left behind that the sadness of missing them sometimes seems so overwhelming! You both had such love for these two individuals, I am so glad that they/you all were able to feel this love for one another! Please know that we will all be thinking of you both and your families as you continue to CELEBARTE their LIVES here on earth, and remember the wonderful memories that they have left for you to share with your loved ones! The times ahead may be tough at times, please know that we all care and are here for you if and when you may need us! Love to all of you! Hugz Dawn

My heart goes out to Hope.  She has been so strong and faithful during all of this.  God love her. 

Sherri and Hope,

Although I never met Peter I have followed his journey through the posts.  I am so sorry for the loss of your loved ones.  Such a sad time for you and the families, but what rejoicing in heaven that another of God's beloved has come home.   May the peace of God envelope you all.
