Peter and Samantha were married for over 50 years. Together they shared a life of true love, happiness and real friendship. Their daughter, Melody, grew into a beautiful woman who followed in her father's footsteps by becoming an accomplished singer/songwriter. Melody and Peter co-wrote an album together. They did a small tour with Peter's friend, James, and from there, Melody's career took off.
Melody and the bass player in her band, Nathan, fell in love and were married. She continued to write but took some time off when their twins were born. A boy named Halsten and a girl named Amanda. The pressures of raising a family and being on the road took its toll on Melody and Nathan's marriage and it finally ended in divorce. They remained good friends and were able to raise Halsten and Amanda together.
Peter and Samantha spoiled their grandchildren rotten as only grandparents can do. In their last years of life, they moved back into the pad on Beechwood. Peter never had the heart to sell it. They relaxed on the beach and enjoyed being together. Samantha died of heart failure two weeks after her 90th birthday. Peter then moved with Melody so she could look after him. He followed Samantha a year later. He was 95 years old.
