I miss you Daddy at this time of year and all the time. I dream of you often and wake up and realize you are not here. I love you and miss you and know that you get to be in paradise. I remember sitting and just talking with you on the porch. I felt so safe and warm. You are missed every day.
Daddy I will never forget the things you taught me.##imported-begin##Angie##imported-end##
Dear Alicia and the Peters Family,
I just now heard about your father's passing. I am so sorry to hear about this. Please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers.##imported-begin##Dana Roland Morris##imported-end##
Don was a great man and we feel fortunate to have met him and known him. He was a pillar at St. Luke's UMC. What we will remember about him is the great talent of teaching. He was a great teacher and he touched many lives through his teaching.##imported-begin##Robert, Pam & Barrett Besser##imported-end##
Dear Rita and family, I was so very sorry to read of Don's passing. I rmember him well from many years ago in Marshall. Always well thought of by all. You, of course, I knew best and I know this will be hard for you and your family. It has been for me as well since I lost my husband some years back. Just wanted to send you my sincerest sympathy and love.##imported-begin##marcia thomas##imported-end##
I had the privilege of working at Region VII at the time Mr. Peters was there as executive director. He was a great man. I used to make him cheese straws for Christmas, that had no crispy rice cereal in them because of his diabetes. I remember him telling me "Tommie, you make the best" I will always remember this sweet man. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of sadness.

I haven't known Don and Rita for as long as many, but they both make you feel as if you've known them for ever. Don had a wonderful wit and it was my pleasure to be of service to him. May the Lord be with all who loved him. Becky Roberts of Comfort Keepers##imported-begin##Becky Roberts##imported-end##

Take care,

If my recollections are anywhere near correct, I have known the Peters family for almost 60 years. For at least thirty of those years, Don Peters was my boss.We always got along so well because Don had such high standards and he always wanted what was best for the students and teachers in the schools. Our world is a poorer place tonight because of his passing, but I believe that he is now receiving great rewards in heaven. I am so sorry that I cannot be there to pay my respects in person. I have a rather severe eye problem which prevents my driving after dark, and I would have to be back here Thursday evening because of some commitments that I have here in Rockdale. Know that I remember and love each of you - Rita, Ron, Alicia and Angela. There is a Rudyard Kipling poem which I cannot remember at this time, but I will find it and send it to you. It speaks of a man who never had to bow or doff his hat to anyone but could always stand on his own merits. That is exactly the way I feel about Don Peters, and I think that he knew it!##imported-begin##Lucile Estell##imported-end##
We are so sorry for your loss, our loss, and the loss of so many others with the death of Mr. Peters. We both enjoyed working at Region VII with him, for, although he was a boss who would "hold your feet to the fire," he had such an enjoyable wry sense of humor. We will keep you in our prayers over these next days and weeks.##imported-begin##Betty and Jim Patton##imported-end##
