This is a poem from your sisters; to our beloved and dearly missed brother, Peter D M Killen. Because I've loved and lived I shall have no sorrow to die. I have send up gladness on wings, to be lost in the blue of the sky. I have run and leaped with the rain. I have taken the wind to my breast. My cheeks like a drowsy child to the face of the earth I have pressed. Because I have loved life I shall have no sorrow to die. I have heard this to the end. I have struct my hands like a seal in the hand of a loyal friend. I have known the peace of heaven, the comfort of work well done. Because I have loved life I have no sorrow to die. I gave a share of my soul to the world when and where my course is run. I know that another must finish the task. I surely must leave undone. I know that nothing was in vain on the path I tread as one look on a face, through a window. Through life I have looked on God because I have loved live, I shall no sorrow to die. Rest in peace Dio Mle, we will meet on that "Great Getting Up Morning." From your two loving sisters: Sister Emma Flemister and Martie Taybior.

My Beloved Brother and Father, I love you and will always love. When I thought my world was at its end, God sent you on December 1st 1974, to take me and raised me as your own. I have always remember that day as the day my life changed for the best. Thank you for your love, support and protection. I missed you so very much. All the good times and the challenging times. Especially that one week we spent together last year; the prayers, conversations and laughter. Rest in perfect peace. All of your sisters and brothers want me to tell you to rest in perfect peace. We love you and missed you. Your Sister T. Jean Killen

To my loving father you will always remain my male role model. Words can't express just how much I love you and will miss you. I have no regrets daddy, we really were blessed with time to enjoy each other and enjoy your grandchildren together as well. A life filled with laughter and of course disagreements. Go home oh faithful servant and take rest in your Heavenly Father Arms . My husband CM said to tell you: Boy Pete, not to worry about me he got me and the boys and will love me and the boys until death separate us. We love and look forward to seeing you again one day in heaven. Until then sleep tight your forever loving daughter and name sake: I will always love you. Peterlyn Killen-Morrison
