A message from Sunny about Peter

Peter with Una the kitten — *Peter holding Una the kitten last summer.*

This a message to all our family and friends, and anyone whose hearts and lives we have touched.

The time has come to say farewell to our dear Peter, who is in the process of transitioning from this body and this plane.

We are not able to take visits and phone calls. But, while he is still here to enjoy it, we would love to hear from you. Anything you would like to say, or for Peter to know, please post a message on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, and I will read the posts to him as they come. I think it’s nicer to know, while one can still appreciate it, how people feel, and the memories that you share, rather than waiting till afterward.

Peter has chosen to remain at home, and things are as good as they can be. We feel very blessed to be able to continue on this part of our journey together, as a team, as we have always done. We can still have the odd chat and hold hands at night before we go to sleep. We feel very blessed with the outpouring of love that we have received so far. And the amount of support we are receiving from friends, family, and the universe is keeping us going.

We thank you for continuing to be a part of our lives, whether near or far. After all, there is no such thing as virtual love. We may not be able to gather physically, but the love goes on and on and on. Love has no borders.

We wish you all peace and love through the holiday season and throughout the year.

Peace and love,
Sunny and Peter

Remembering Peter

My dear Peter is gone.
We sang him home on the last day of the year, gathered around his bedside as we had done for so many days before.

‘Send them green.’ A special message from a Sunny Center supporter!

“I had the wonderful opportunity to be a guest at the Sunny Center this past July. My first trip to Ireland, it always is a magical moment to visit friends who live overseas…”

Exonerees are succeeding, thanks to you!

Helping people exonerated of crimes they did not commit, setting them back on the path to a fulfilling life, is a monumental task that we depend on the dedication of volunteers, both near and far, to achieve.

Even in summer, the work doesn’t stop

We’re in midsummer now, with its long days that stretch until 11 in the evening here in Ireland. It’s a busy time for everyone and everything.

The power of art to heal and renew

Did you know that Peter was a woodworker and an artist? He created so many things. But more importantly, he taught those skills to other Exonerees when they visited the Center.

Finding Peace, Joy and Hope

The events in Ukraine over the past several days have been ever-present in all of our lives through the daily news and constant social media. These times can be especially difficult for Exonerees because of the traumas they are working to overcome.

Love Is Always the Answer

Winter is always a little bit quieter than the rest of the year. After a long day spent maintaining the Sunny Healing Center and getting it ready for visitors, it’s time for us to cuddle up with the kittens and, of course, Barney, on chilly winter evenings with a warm fire in the hearth.
