Our deepest sympathy in the loss of your Mom. We are so sorry that we could not see Aunt Eleanor before it was time for her to leave us. I am sure that she will be having a great time reuniting with Uncle Ed and all of the others that were there to meet her. Love you guys. Let us know if we can do anything to help.
Grandma, We love and miss you. We feel grateful to have had you for 93 wonderful years. May you dance the polka in peace with Grandpa and our Lord Jesus Christ until we meet again. God bless you and keep you. Dave and Ann
Dearest Marlene,
Please accept my heartfelt sympathies for your entire family. I know your sweet mom is looking down from her seat in heaven smiling knowing how loved and cherished she was and will remain! Blessings to you and family. With much love, Stacy
I am so sorry for your loss but you know she is in a happy place. She was an inspiration to us all on how to age beautifully, with dignity and grace. She will be missed by all that knew her. We love you and our prayers are with you.
Noel and Andy
We are so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. We do have so many fond memories of her and your dad. Dec. 10th would have been mom’s Alice 95th birthday. I know they are dancing together again, just like the old days. Love to you all, and our prayers, of course, also. Sue and Jim and family. Dad sends love and prayers, too!
She will be greatly missed. There was always a smile on her face. She loved life and is now with Ed in heaven. Our sympathy to all the family.
Eleanor and Ed Peters were two of Gods finest on earth and will be while with him in Heaven. They left a mark that cannot be erased in our hearts and we will miss them dearly.
I grew up with Mr & Mrs Peters’ grandchildren in the Knieper family. I remember her being an important part of the fabric of that strong family. Unfortunately, I have been away from the family for years now, but was saddened to hear of her passing.
I pray she’s able to look down upon us and bless us with her smiles.
Eternal rest grant unto her o’Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her. May the souls of the faithfully departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
My prayers are with all of the family as you celebrate the life and memory of a wonderful person.
To the entire family and especially Marlene on the loss of your Mom, our prayers are offered for Eleanor and all of you on this solemn occasion.
Hugh & Ann Campbell.
