Dear Annie,

Your dear Uncle Pete will be in my prayers - I intend to try to make it Mass tomorrow and will remember him especially in my prayers.

Oh Anne, I've been following this request closely and am glad I checked in before going to bed. I will include Uncle Pete and all who love him in my prayers tonight, upon waking, and until I hear from you again .

Love,

How grace-filled his passing sounds, Anne. What a comfort to have the Sacraments available to him, and the priest to offer prayers right as he made his way from this life to the next.

I'm praying for the repose of your Uncle's soul, and for the comfort for all those that loved him.

How beautiful to read your update and hear of how he passed.

It is such a tremendous grace to be in the presence of a dying soul.

We shall continue to pray...

FINAL UPDATE

My dear, beloved Uncle Pete passed away very, very peacefully 5.05pm Aus time...surrounded by his family and friends in pallitive care, it was an honour to be with him in his final hour..we prayed the Divine Mercy chaplet at his side and as he passed away we had a priest walk in and pray over him - I cannot thank you all enough for your loving prayer and concern...from the bottom of my heart, I thank you.


So bittersweet. I continue to pray for Uncle Pete's soul and for all who love and will miss him. I'm sorry for your loss and praise God for the communion of saints and promise of eternal life.

Love,

Thank you everyone for your beautiful condolences and prayers, they are appreciated greatly and I had told Peter from time to time that all the girls in the States were praying for him - he loved it!

Well..we are going to miss him, I feel that so much, he was a rare man, loved by all those who knew him because he was such a man of LOVE himself and completely devoted to family...all I can say is we were blessed to have been given him and it is comforting his now working on getting us all up there one day.

His funeral is Monday, it will be such a big gathering of relatives from all over Australia, a big weekend of connecting with family.
