Dear Mary and Family; Father Pete was a most wonderful influence and friend during our few years on Vashon Island. He was wonderful with adults as well as children, always there with a kind word, smile and infectious laughter. Warm thoughts and prayers to you and your extended families at this time. We just today learned of his passing in the Vashon Heritage newsletter. He made the world a better place to be, thank you for sharing.

Dear Mary and family,
Father Pete made the Lord come alive for me. I loved his sermons. And then there was his beautiful singing voice...He and my dad, Cec, used to have spirited discussions about how many verses of a hymn should be sung.
At the very hardest moment in my life, as my father struggled with cancer, Father Pete was there, supporting the family and sharing communion. He climbed up Indian Henry to Mirror Lake on Mt. Rainier and helped carry out my father's last request to be buried in his beloved childhood place.
I will never forget his compassion and sense of humor. On the morning of my wedding he doled out sage marital advice as we sat together while he slaughtered rabbits. He and Mary graciously came to my wedding in the Lutheran Church, as I was marrying a Lutheran school teacher. They gave us Vashon Island coffee mugs which we have to this day, over 35 years later.
I wish you all peace. And I thank each of you for sharing Peter over these years, your gift to so many. Love, Vicki

Mary and family, I know what you are going through having lost my Annie just two years ago. We loved Fr. Peter as we would a big brother. I have very fond memories of working with him and the blind kids he taught to sail at our house on the Island, parties at both houses, and so many other things. It is hard for us to accept that we will not have them physically with us each day as in the past but keep in mind that they are really always with us. As that poem I sent you says, listen for his footfalls in your heart. After all the time we spent, you with Peter and me with Annie, they are both very much a part of us and for sure will live on here with and in us. And they are both in a far better place to for them to be, with no pain to live with. It is very hard on us but wonderful for them.

Dear Mary, my condolances. Having attended Holy Family Cathedral
in Tulsa since 46, we've seen many priests come & go. Altho not a
member there..we loved the beautiful cathedral & especially after
Fr. Peter came there in '87. Before I lost my wife to cancer she
would often suggest that we attend Mass there & listen to Father
Peter's beautiful sermons. He was our favorite. God Bless Him. J S

Dear Mary and family,
I was saddened by the news of Fr. Peter's passing and wish to extend my heartfelt condolences.
When Fr. Peter was at Holy Family in Tulsa, I worked with him and was at your home in Tulsa a couple of times. I feel sure the Lord is pleased with all that Peter did in His Name and know that He will surround you now with His Holy Spirit for comfort and peace in the days ahead of you.
Love to you all,
Dorothy

Mary, we pray for you and your children in your time of sorrow and pain; missed you and Father terribly; have requested a Mass for the repose of Father's soul. I feel like now we have a "personal" saint to pray too. He was a remarkable priest...and such a blessing to the Dioc. of Tulsa... and to JB and I...as you were. Love...

You were my friend and confessor and you are missed. I'm at peace knowing you are in a better place without pain. I pray God holds you in the palm of His hand until we meet again.

This world is blessed with but a few great yet humble teachers. We were blessed to have such a teacher in our family. Peters love and teachings will carry on far longer than our own sadness and sense of loss.The tears we shed are for our own loss. Our heavenly Father has embraced our beloved father Peter into the place he has prepared for us all in his time. Father Peter wanted all mankind to know of our Fathers love so that we may join him in Paradise. The place where Peter now awaits us in peace.
Thank you to all of Father Peters family for their sacrifice of times they shared him with others. He was very loved and will be greatly missed. Our prayers and love are sent out for you all.
God bless and keep you.

Fr. Peter and Mary served our Oklahoma parishes graciously with much love, honor and dignity. Fr. Peter was a marvelous confessor. We continue to be much blessed with the fruits of their ministry.
We grieved when they retired to Washington although our hearts rejoiced they could have time with their grandchildren.
God bless and keep this precious family in his loving and comforting care. Rest in peace, Fr. Peter.

Dear members of Fr. Peter Dally's family,
I cherish fond memories of visits with Fr. Peter (and with his sister, Sister Elsbeth in Jerusalem) and I regret that I was unable to attend his wake and funeral Mass to celebrate his remarkable life.
Please be assured of my prayers and deepest sympathy for each of you. May God bless you with His comfort, love and peace.

To our beloved Mary:
You, Lord, surprised me by Your visit -- a beautiful letter from Father Peter encouraging me to join Holy Theophany Monastery. In that letter he allowed me a glimpse of Your work in his own life from the Anglican priesthood to the present. I first met Father during my month's visit at the monastery in July 2001. At that meeting he passed through my life like the clouds in the sky that float away without a wave of goodby, leaving a breath of wonder at their beauty. I thought nothing more of it.
That letter and others which followed were like a thread running through "our" life (Your's, Lord, and mine); "our" life at the monastery, his Divine Liturgies, his precious sermons, visits, bringing friends to meet us, his prayers for us, the chores when he lent a generous hand -- the list could go on. That chapter of "our" life is ended. I close it with a heart full of loving gratitude.
Now begins a new chapter in this adventure with You which You call my life, with Father Peter's gentle presence with us, bringing graces, like the cool refreshing breeze on a hot day, the delightful song of a bird singing its little heart out in praise of its Creator, many similar consolations.
Dear Father Peter, those little joys speak to my soul. But you lift me above this material world to the invisible world of angels and heavenly beings where you dwell. Who can measure or even scarcely recognize the fruits of your loving care and prayers for those you left behind. Is it you who surprise me with that outpouring of peace and joy in moments of suffering; of hope and trust in times of darkness and desolation; of love and peace when anger, discouragement, weariness - whatever - are threatening to overcome my soul? How marvelous is God; how generous to give us your fatherly love to guide us as we journey towards our eternal home. Glory to Jesus Christ!
Thank you, Pani Mary, you have helped make him the beautiful precious person he was on earth, walking with him every step of the way, enfolding him with your love. We all love you. God bless you and your family.

Father Peter Dally will always be a fantastic memory of my life on Vashon Island when I was young. He would come down to our house at 5:00 in the morning in his little bug and pick my brother Wade and myself up for alter boy practise. He taught us to sail, then brought blind kids over from Seattle for us to teach them to sail. His unselfish influence will never be forgotten. I can invision Father Dally marching down Vashon's main street in his kilt right now.
Our sincere condolences to the Dally family.
Love and God Bless,
Scott Webster & Family. Anacortes WA.

I met Father Dally at Hillcrest Hospital, in Tulsa, where my daughter was hospitalized after an emotional crisis. He spoke to me, at the time, of his intention to become a Roman Catholic priest. The second time I saw him, I was truly depressed, sitting by myself in a waiting room. He sat with me, and told me a God
joke which involved another language. Although the memory of the joke is gone, the compassion that I felt from Father Dally remains with me to this day. I know that all who loved him and knew him will miss him. My prayers are with you.

Dear Mary and Family,
I hope that this internet note will reach you faster than a card sent from Scotland.
My thoughts and Prayers are with you at this time. Fr. Peter was a man who was bigger than life. I have always thought of him as a fine example of someone who listened to God. That still small voice that would direct him in everything that he did. He brought to our family, a fresh breeze and a world view, something that we had never experienced before.
My fondest memory is of him having comunion for the whole family and neighborhood at Tina's in Carlton. They didn't stop talking about it for years!!
I have always admired both him and you , Mary, since I was very small. My love and prayers to you, Mary, and your family.
Cousin Janet
