Donna, I'm so sorry I didn't know about the Lord calling your Dad home; we would certainly have come to the visitation. We extend our deepest sympathy for the loss of one so dear. I certainly understand your loss ... a "Dad" is so special. You had a special one; I have such special memories of him and your Mom and you, of course.

We send you our love and prayers. Our Heavenly Father knows just how to comfort and give you the peace and help you need in the days, weeks, and even months ahead. Claim His promises because He is always faithful! Please pass on to your Mom and the rest of the family.

Christal,

My prayers for you and your family will be given to God. Losing a parent is always sad.

Immortality lies not in the things you leave behind, but in the people your life has touched. I only met Pete one time but felt like I knew him from being his brother in law, Fred's, friend. I know that Fred respected and admired Pete more than anyone he knew. My prayers are with his family and loved ones.

Be comforted in knowing that God is with you during this difficult time and that there are friends that also share your sorrow with you. I find Psalm
121 to be very comforting during these times.
