On behalf of the Fullmer family; Scott, Craig, Grant, Carol, John, and Barbara. I would like to express our condolences to all of the Peterson’s. We all have fond memories of the Peterson’ s from our childhood growing up together on Fawn Crescent.
If I can arrange things I would like to attend the funeral. It would give me a chance to see Kelly again.
Love,
Grant Fullmer
Brother & Sister Peterson, Vicky and Kelly,
I am so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing especially after it seemed he had fought his way past his medical challenges. It hit too close to home for the emotional roller coaster ride we had with Collin. I have kept track of Bob and your family through my folks and have many fond memories of our paths crossing often through my growing up years.
My hope and prayer is that your family will feel peace and support from the Comforter.
Love,
Stephen
Dear Peterson family,
I was very sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. It has been many years since I have seen or associated with your family but my mom and dad have always kept me apprised of your family news. I have good memories of everyone and our time together in First ward and in Fairview. My sympathy and prayers go out to all of you. I know your pain very well. May the Lord be with you. Much love, Miriam
I still and always will miss Bob. I’m so sorry we never got to take that boat ride. He was a great friend. RIP always Bob.
