Dear Kathy and Pete's family,
I am so grateful that I got to get reacquainted with my cousin Pete and his family before he died. It had been over 50 years that I had last seen Pete. He was only a little boy then. His Mother Mary was my father's sister. They both died fairly young. May Pete Rest In Peace and have fun up there in Heaven with your large extended family. Love Cousin Katie Smith Harrison

Daddy Dear, Well now you can begin a new journey of eternal life. I know I miss your smile, laugh, soft tone voice and your hugs & kisses but I believe you are still taking care of all of us. I feel your presence and know you & I will meet again. You were such a loving, patient & caring Father. I am sure you are with your Heavenly Father. I am so proud to say you & I always loved one another & you loved Cody & Dawson so much.They adored you & you were always so patient & taught them so much. I am glad you are watching over me & the boys because we need you. I talk to you and I can hear what you would say if you were here. I miss you here on earth but I look forward to meeting you in Heaven where we will live forever with no hurt or pain. That's when we'll sing and dance to Daddy's Little Girl & Amazing Grace. The memories are happy & many. So Long Daddy, I Love You!!!! Your Daughter, Your Brenny. XOXO

The following prayer describes the way Peter lived his life, shared his life and how many of us now remember him.

A Simple Prayer
by St. Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
Where there is hatered . . . let me sow love.
Where there is injury . . . pardon.
Where there is discord . . . unity.
Where there is doubt . . . faith.
Where there is error . . . truth.
Where there is despair . . . hope.
Where there is sadness . . . joy.
Where there is darkness . . . light.
Oh, Divine Master, grant the I may not so much seek;
To be consoled . . . as to console.
To be understood . . . as to understand.
To be loved . . . as to love.
For:
It is in giving . . . that we receive.
It is is pardoning . . . that we are pardoned
And it is in dying . . . that we are born to eternal life.

May the love of Jesus Christ fill the void which is left by Peter being called to his eternal home. He will always be remembered and loved by us!
