Brenda & Judy,
What an amazing angel God has called home to be with him. Petie was truly an amazing woman. I have many happy memories of her smiling face, her wonderful sense of humor and her unconditional giving. What a legacy she has left for her family to remember her by.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
