God saw he was getting tired
and a cure was not to be.
So He put his arms around him
and whispered "come with me."
With tearful eyes we watched him suffer
and saw him fade away.
Although we couldn't bear to lose him,
We could not bid him stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hardworking hands laid to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
Rest in Peace Pete.

The Long Goodbye
It's been a long time since we first felt the beginning to this end.
And today we pray before you; your family and you friends.
We've watched your thoughts get more obscure with every passing day;
As this heartless thing called Alzheimer's made them fade away.
Gradually it took the gleam from those once so loving eyes.
To befall on such a giving man... it seemed so unjustified.
Stripping you of everything. leaving nothing in its place... Except a look of sadness left upon your face.
As long as we have searched, through all the tears we've cried...
We've tried to find the reason for this long good-bye..
But now its time to take back all of your memories...
As you are finally free from this cruel disease.
We pledge to remember the man that you once were;
A good hearted, giving man is all that will be heard.
And every night when we look up and see a certain star...
We will know within our hearts exactly where you are.
So on this day we say good-bye as you now depart.
Although far from our touch, never far from our hearts...
I'll miss you forever more Daddy..
Love ya,
your daughter

You are the "World's Greatest PawPaw"!
"When you look up in the sky on a sunny day, Imagine me drifting away, I'll be sailing on the ships of Heaven, when the tide rolls out for the last time, you'll find me sailing on the ships of Heaven, waiting for the day, I come sailing back to you."
We Love you so much,
Laura, Shayne, Taylor, Cooper & Turner (Gray)
