May God Bless your family as you rest in Heavenly Peace.
Deepest condolences to the Peters family. Bill was a great neighbor for so many years. May his memory be a blessing. Rest in peace.
Me and Josh are very sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad, Grandpa, Father In Law. He is in our prayers and thoughts.
Love Peter and Laura Levine
The Room Next Door
Stay up late at night to hear him
So deaf he doesn’t know
That in the next room I am listening
Between the walls and falling snow
He’s talking to his lovely bride
Who passed five years ago
He tells her that he misses her
And wants to join her so
He doesn’t want to live forever
He doesn’t want to forget her
Body is crumbling under the weight of time
His mind is here and his mind was fine
No he doesn’t want to live to one hundred
He wants to join his wife
And so before the end of April
He willed to end his life
I stay up late to hear his prayers
He doesn’t know there’s someone there
He’s too deaf to know how loud he’s spoken
He’s much too tired, heart much too broken
She came to take him, the end was quick
In another world his soul does slip
Now for his love my heart is sore
The room next door spoke nevermore
