God knew you when you were in the wound and knew when your time here on earth would be fullfilled. We never thought you would be taken without a good bye, but I know God knows when we have finished our race, fullfilled our destiny and pleased him in all our doings. I pray you are at peace with God himself, guiding and watching over us as we continue this race here on earth. Until we meet in heaven, I love you God Brother of mine! Blessings upon the family and close love ones!

Wow, words cannot even begin to express the feeling of loss in my heart. Pete, you are truly going to be missed. For all the times we laughed together, cried together, and just sat back and stared at each other, those times will always be a constent reminder of our friendship. May God comfort and console your family and friends during these times. I know you'll be smiling down on us with the ear to ear grin!
