Peter, what a servant of Christ! I am so sorry for myself to let go off you but I know you have done your part on earth and need your rest. You saw and gave me encouragement in ministry when I first came to NZ and you believed in me and my God given gifts. I am forever grateful to the Lord that our paths crossed. You baptizing me and being my supervisor was a blessing in my life. Thank you Peter! "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; Love leaves a memory no one can steal." Rosemary, our love and deepest sympathies to you and your family. Much love Gabriele and Benjamin xx

Sending love and prayers Rosemary, Sue and family. Peter was a tremendous support to me as a sudden widow and solo parent when a student at St John's College and I have deeply appreciated both his and Rosemary's friendship over many years. Peter is now at rest with the God he loved and humbly served.
