Peter Nick "Ap'a Papasneak" 7-4-1918 to 4-5-2010

My Ap'a Peter passed away during our Bright Monday, the day after Easter, at the YKHC hospital with family surrounding him. It has been a very busy week and a half... The things that comfort me is that he has had ALL his prayers answered. 1. He had a long life 2. He was surrounded by family 3. he did not leave us suddenly as he feared he would and 4. he passed away during a time we hold sacred - our Easter season. We miss him greatly, yet I am at peace knowing he no longer hurts, is no longer sick...or lonesome, hungry or sad. May he rest in peace and his memory be eternal. I love you very much Ap'a, thank you for being such a big part of my life, and showing me by your example how to be a true human being.

Hi Nastasia;
We're all thinking about you and your family. It sounds like Mr. Nick had a long and wonderful life--something we can all hope for.
Stay in touch.

Thank you Skip. Yes, he had a very long and eventful life. He was a very giving person, always thinking of others before himself.
