Peter was a good friend of ours for many years. He came to so many of our karaoke shows and he loved to play his harmonica at them. Everyone was always amazed at the beautiful music that he made. Our hearts go out to the families. Rest in peace dear friend.
Our heartfelt condolences to Peter Breeman’s family and Diane. In this sorrowful time, may you feel the light of the Lord’s presence and bring you peace. We are praying that you take comfort in the Lord’s love and His words. know that you are never alone, that He walks beside you even in the darkest times. In Psalm 34:18 KJV says: The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
May God give you strength through this grieving time. Love and hugs.
Peter, your kindness will be missed in this world. I can only imagine the beautiful songs you are playing on your harmonica in Heaven. RIP
