Petey was such a beautiful person. Always ready to offer that sweet smile. The last time we saw her was at the wedding of the daughter of a mutual friend. Little did we know that just one month later, we would lose her. Will miss your smile and kindness, Petey.

We were at Petey's memorial service. It was such a wonderful tribute. We have known Petey since Oakland Evangelical Free Church days. She was an inspiration to all. Sorry we couldn't visit with you. You were all so busy.

Petey and Dave were dear friends to my wife and I for over 47 years. We met while she and Dave were in NJ. We stayed good friends, although from afar, for all the years since they moved back to California. We visited each other a couple of times and stayed in each others homes. I will miss her letters, her emails, her notes, her cards, her voice and her photos. But most of all, I will miss her; she was a beautiful person.

I have known Petey as a dear friend for over 20 years. Through Dave's long illness, she was an example to all of us and showed what love truly is. We admired her so much. At the same time, she still smiled through her tears and carried on with her own life. I can't believe she is gone. I still expect to see her smiling face coming towards me. My heart goes out to her family who loved her so much.
With deepest sympathy, Marguerite Platt

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family for their loss of such a sweet, kind, loving woman. Never did we get an email that did send hugs our way!! She will be missed around the hospital and we are ever so lucky to have had such a giving member who truly enjoyed working the jobs she did. Our scholarships will never be the same without her. She will be missed by all. Our best to the family and may their memories keep them going in these tough times. Love, Nora and Fred Perez, VC Auxiliary
