Farewell, my friend, Dr. Peter Pakulis. You are on a good journey to the Kingdom of Light, where there will be “no more tears”. I want to thank you for your life of service and love to us, humble yet you lead by example, always encouraging and positive. You know Christ and are known by Him. I pray for His many blessings for your wife and children here, blessings of love and abundance of grace for years to come. Amen!

Pati, I’m so sad that I won’t be able to be with you at the services for Peter. I knew that would probably end up being the case. I leave for Vancouver on Wednesday morning but my heart will be with you my friend.

In a totally separate note, I am loving your new blog and logo! Seriously so great.

Love you my friend.

Pati, I am so sorry for your loss. I was a patient of Peter’s since 1997 and always found him to be a wonderful, warm and kind man. Colin was a classmate of my daughter’s in the 1-2 multi-age class, so I saw both of you occassionally at Milenio.
One thing I know is that Peter loved his family; he always spoke of you and the children – he was very proud of all of you. I can’t imagine the emptiness you feel with his passing; I hope you see your wonderful children as a reflection of him and his love. If there is anything I can do for you and the children, please let me know.

Pati, Jadon called Saturday to tell of Peter’s passing.
Somehow, I was led to your blog. The beautiful pictures of your family, the feelings of love and faith that you express so wonderfully, and the kind words of friends have filled me with a sense of grief and sorrow that was so unexpected. Please accept my condolences for your family’s loss.

The heart asks pleasure first,
And then, excuse from pain:
And then, those little anodynes
That deaden suffering;

And then, to go to sleep;
And then, if it should be
the will of its Inquisitor,
The liberty to die.

Pati and family — my heart and thoughts are with you. I received a message from your sister and appreciate the notice. I will let those of us who grew to know and love Peter over the years know about the service.

I know that your faith will help you through this. I know that it helped Peter — he never faltered in his faith even with the battle that he faced and we all hoped he could be the victor.

Hi Pati. I originally read about your family on Melissa’s blog a few weeks ago and I did say a prayer for all of you. I was so sad to read of Peter’s passing. I’m so glad he is in heaven but I feel so deeply for you and your children. (((hugs))). I am praying for each of you to receive God’s overwhelming comfort during this time. God Bless You.

I am so saddened by the loss of this special soul. I met him as my practicioner several years ago…but got to know him a bit over years in the Ahwatukee neighborhood. I didn’t know him well…in time…but knew him well in quality of time well spent. So sorry for his family’s loss. So happy at the gift he gave me and others! A gentle, special soul! May we all remember and carry on his legacy of health and kindness! Hilary Cummings

Pati, My thoughts and prayers are with you and the children. My family saw Peter on several occasions, he had such a great gift. My daughter Rachel has attended school with Colin since Kindergarten. My prayer is for God’s loving comfort and peace be with you and your children. Tamie

Pati, on behalf of the Hanzals, we send our condolences. Peter was such an awesome man of God! He was passionate about life and it was very evident. Now he is face to face with the father and you can only imagine what Jesus is saying to him, “well done my good and faithful servant.” We will continue to be in prayer for you, Colin, Julia, and Alyssa. We love you

Dearest Pati and family –
We prayed with you for God to let you keep your loved one with you here on earth, but God wanted him more. He must have been a wonderful father and spouse. The pictures are incredible. We will see your family united again in the life ahead. God bless you and keep you at this time in your life. All my love to you.

Pati – Our sincere condolences to you and your family on Peter’s passing. We had been keeping up with Peter through Jadon and were deeply saddened by the news. We came to know him from our college days with Jadon and Anne. Peter is truely a special person, who welcomed us into the Canandaigua circle with open arms. We will always remember that smile on his face and that sincere “how are you?” Thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures. It brings out the Peter we all know. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God bless you.

I met this special person 14 years ago when my back went out and I needed a miracle. I walked into his office on 40th Street and I was changed forever. Peter had a special glow like an aura around him. He was kind, intelligent,healing and made you want to be a better person. He lit up when he spoke of his family which made me respect him even more.
I never thought he would lose this battle because we needed him here to make us all better folks but God clearly wanted him for bigger reasons. Our best to his beautiful Pati and the kids.

My husband Santos, was a client of Peter. He always spoke so kindly of him. I met him once he came across as honest, caring, and warm.
We do not have enough words to take away your pain. We also have had tragedies in our lives. I just want to comment on your pictures of his life and how full of life and love he was.
When you are feeling like you do not understand the why….remember how many lifes he touched. Your family was
so blessed to be a part of his life. May his memory stay close to all who knew him. God bless your family.

Pati, I have been following your blog for a while and felt compelled to comment today. Praying and BELIEVING in miracles.

Hi Pati-

I was saddened to learn from Melissa’s blog about your husband. He looked so good in the photos. She did a fantastic job capturing your beautiful family. You truly do radiate love even amidst the great trial you were undergoing. Because your husband looked so healthy and strong in the photos I was surprised to learn of his passing today again, from Melissa. My heart goes out to you and your children and family. I know the loss is great, but I also sense that your faith is strong and you know that you will one day be together again. Please accept my prayers and love and know that I’ll be thinking of you.–Maria

Kev called me this morning. At sunset I went and sat on the beach, feeling my sorrow deeply, looking at your sweet faces, one by one in my mind’s eye, embracing each one of you, hoping you might have felt hugs in hush of wind, from across the miles. The ocean took my tears, Pati, and I might have cried it full.
Deep condolences from me to you, Alyssa, Julia and Colin.
Love,
Anne

Pati, Peter and family,
My prayers and thoughts are with you all at this time. You are a beautiful and inspiring woman Pati. Thank you for keeping us updated on Peter. Pray for a miracle.
