Thinking of you.
May you find peace in your grief and comfort in your memories.
From Mark and Deb (Schilousky) Imel, Eads, CO. We enjoyed being involved with the Peterson family New Year’s eve party in Tilden. Their Faith In God 24/7 is awesome. So sorry for your loss.
My thoughts and prayers are with Paul, Tiffany, and all the extended family of George. May he rest in peace. Chaplain Linda Cirillo, KAIROS Evansville
In memory of the big brother who always looked out for me and always teased us with love!!! With so much love, Merna and the girls
Sending our love/prayers to the family. Thankful for all of the memories & our hope in Jesus for tomorrow. Hugs from MN. See you soon, Uncle George.
Sympathy and love always.
From my very earliest memories, George has been my big “brother.” He was a tease, to be sure, but never did I feel anything but kindness and gentleness from him. And his roaring laugh was magical! George, you’ve got a new address now, and we know it’s a permanent home with a fabulous view (and you won’t have to get up at 4:00A.M. to milk the cows!) You won’t be bothered with health issues or other earthy concerns. But, you will be missed! Our sympathy, love and prayers are with all of the Petersen family at this time of grief. “I’ll Meet You in the Morning” Marcia Williamson Koch
