Sincerest sympathies for your loss. Memories of Pete and Ann go back many years. We were neighbors of the Hnat family, and we were parishioners of Sts. Peter and Paul, too. We remember Pete as a friendly, caring man. May God be with you all, and may you find comfort in remembering the pleasant days with Pete.
