I wish I had known Peter better. What I knew of him made me wish that. I can hear his voice in his head and see the smile he always wore when we talked. His kindness and generosity is tucked in my heart. May he forever enjoy the company of his Savior and may his family know peace in the hope we all put in Jesus.
