Michelle & John

  

Pete: When I first met you I knew you were bad! Now who is going to tease me, steal my sunglasses, and my damn mustard caps?! .... And who is going to make funny faces at John? .... I guess there will never be another you again. At least I think God broke the mold after you!!
I'm happy to have gotten the chance to be there to see you through some of the scariest moments these past few years. When I think of all the times John & I shared with you, Sharon, & Little Pete, I've only got good memories. You & Sharon taught me that everyone deserves a second chance ...or a third ...or even more. That life isn't all about being perfect. It's about taking chances, and finding good in even the worst of things. I wish you would send Little Pete messages to help guide him in his life, & help keep Sharon strong. Even if they don't think so, they both will need you even more now that your gone .....

P.S. Please remind God that your Irish, so it's not a good idea to give you the keys to the Harley!! He may never see it again!!

Debbie Boccuzzi

  

Sharon, Peter There are no words for what you are going through right now.
Know in your heart you have both been so there for Peter/Dad and now you both need to be strong for each other. You both have many people who care and love you. Lean on them and
with all the memories you have - you'll find yourself smiling. Missing him never goes away
but the memories sure help ease the pain. I love you guys, Debbie Boccuzzi

Donna Donnelly

  

R.I.P. Pierre. You will be missed. I hope there really is a heaven and you are looking down and smiling at all of us. I hope that you have no more pain and that you are in a "happy place". I also hope that you help Sharon and Little Pete through all this because they are going to miss you terribly and be lost without you. Love you Pierre, until we meet again.....<3 Donna

Andrea Grossman

  

Dear Sharon, Peter and Family,

I send you all my condolences on the loss of your beloved Peter. He was a great neighbor and a wonderful kind-hearted person. I will always remember his kindness to me, especially when I first moved in. I have fond memories of him making chicken soup for me and especially of him killing the BAT that got into my apartment! (He saved me and the cats from being bitten and he took the risk of not being bitten himself!) I know that he is already at peace and watching over you and guiding you. I miss him!

Fondly,
Andrea

Judith Grossman

  

Sharon and Peter,

I wanted to express my condolences on the loss of your beloved husband and father. Peter was a good man. I am glad that Andrea has such good neighbors.

Sincerely,

I will miss you Uncle Peter. I know you are in a better place. Say hi and take care of my Dad for me.

Love
Kevin

Christine (Veary) Aiello

  

God bless you Peter. I first met you when you were 3 weeks old, when my parents brought us back to MA to visit your parents, Aunt Frances and Uncle Jimmy. I was about 8 and drove your parents and my parents annoingly crazy, reporting to them every single movement including eye blinks and finger squeezes that you and your brother Paul could possibly eek out of a tiny squirmy body as you slept on the sofa. It was seeing you as that small infant that first planted the seed in me, filling me with the enduring excitement and anticipation, of wanting my own babies when I grew older.
You carried the genes from 380 years of North American hero's, religious, explorers, statesmen, inventors, brilliant musicians and, of course, their (hopefully) magnificient wives.
Through you and all those who have gone before us, those genes have passed on to your dear son, Peter. Stand proudly at Peter's side always, and whisper softly and sweetly to Sharon in her dreams.

Lovingly,
Christine

The Little Ship
I stood watching as the little ship sailed out to sea. The setting sun tinted his white sails with a golden light, and as he disappeared from sight a voice at my side whispered, “He is gone”.

But the sea was a narrow one. On the farther shore a little band of friends had gathered to watch and wait in happy expectation. Suddenly they caught sight of the tiny sail and, at the very moment when my companion had whispered, “He is gone” a glad shout went up in joyous welcome, “Here he comes!”

Uncle Peter I will always remember you BIGGER than life. You loved us all so much.. Your heart was much bigger than any of us knew & had everyones best interests at heart. Last time I saw you I said you have to see me graduate and become a nurse so that you can be proud of me, & you said, "I'm not going anywhere anytime soon kid" & how quickly you were taken from us.

God knew how much pain you were in & saw your suffering & called you home so all of it would come to an end. Now you walk beside Him. Your voice has been restored & your pain is gone. I'm thankful for that. It still doesn't make the hurt of you not being here any less. Out of all Dad's brother (& this probably isn't fair to pick a "favorite") you are my favorite uncle. Even though we didn't see each other often whenever we did it was like we just picked up where we left off. God blessed me with you as my family & for that I will be forever grateful!

My prayer is that you are at peace now. I know that you are up there looking down on us smiling. Even though you aren't here with us I hope you will still be proud of me when I graduate my RN & be proud of me that I made something of myself.

I LOVE YOU UNC!!!

Always On My Mind & Forever In My Heart!!! <3

Love you,

A special message to my cousin "Lil' Pete" and aunt Sharon: I hope peace has filled your hearts, for it is so very true that uncle peter IS at peace now!~His time on earth to some may have seemed to be cut short, however It was his time, God wanted his body to not be in pain anymore. This comes w/the peace in my heart that now the spirit of HIS heart is as pure as the day he was born. His memory on presence lives on in our hearts! If I may share two distinct memories that I recall of my uncle..I must have been 4 or 5 years young, as he had come for a visit to my family he decided to "tickle me"(tummy) with his voice aide, and i was cracking up from the vibration! ~ It still brings a smile to my face! Also I will always remember at my fathers funeral he gracefully place his leather jacket w/ his brother to rest eternally-and looked to the sky to signify their brother bond; they now share that jacket in heaven! BIG hugs and kisses from my family to yours- players always and forever; GOD BLESS.

Peter Jr.

You are no longer in pain. I want to thank you for all the good memories we had together but,most of all for our son Peter. Please guide him and always look out for him. I know you will always watch over me and help me get through this.
I love you and will miss your smile,your touch!

Dear Family,

The grief that is felt when we lose a loved one may seem unbearable. At such times, we can go to God's word for comfort. God too feels hurt when an individual dies. That is why the encouragement found at Revelation 21:4 assure us that "He will remove sorrow and death will be no more." According to this scripture, there will come a time when those we have lost to death will be brought back by means of a resurrection by the Almighty God. May the family find the comfort that God makes available to all persons.

Jen De Melo

  

Hey Uncle Peter..
Can''t believe that your really gone! Damn! God definitely broke the mold when He made you. Never will there be another like you! I miss you and your confident to the point of being cocky attitude. Can you send some of that haughtyness down to me? I need just alil extra dose to add to what I already have. lol After all I am a "Donnelly". Don''t let the last name confuse you. hahahaha :) I love love love miss miss miss you!!! I do! I do! I really really do! xoxox

Pete... If you ever need an ear to listen & you just wanna talk you can call Mom and get my number if you erased it off your caller ID. I''m always here if you need me. Anytime you need a friend I will be here.
I love you cousin! xo

Aunty Sharon... Behind every strong man there is a stronger woman... I admire you and give you credit for standing and walking beside Uncle Peter every step of your journey together. God blessed Uncle Peter with you. You were the "odd"couple. Uncle Peter the reckless fun loving "you can''t ignore me" rascal and Aunty Sharon the cautious conservative "always do the right thing" classy lady balanced each other out. Went into that with eyes wide shut? Betcha didn''t know what kinda crazy dysfunctional, yet loving group of misfits you were getting urself caught up with? :) Ya been with us for the better part of 25+ yrs and don''t think that you''re going anywhere! What I''m saying is YOUR FAMILY & I LOVE YOU! Keep your head up & stay strong!!! I want & hope to come back soon! ;)

I Love You Guys Very Much!!!! oxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
