Greetings from Argentine friends
“When my voice is silent in death, my song will speak in your leaving heart” -Rabindranath Tagore- It's what those of us who had the privilege of meeting Peter feel! May his family, so loved by him, be sustained with the most beautiful memories that would ease the pain. Maria Alejandra Picconi and the friends from Argentina
