still thinking of you and I guess it's going to take me awhile to believe this is it. I will never get over you are gone from this world. I called your home. Maybe wishing that you would answer, but it at least made me feel a little bit of comfort when the boys answered and know they are still there at your home. REMBEMBERING! LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SOOO!! YOUR LIL SIS LINDY

I am so sad to know that Pete is gone. He was my first love so very long ago and even back then he was always a gentleman and even tho we haven't seen each other in years he often crossed my mind when I would hear a song from the 60's. and I will still think of Pete and smile. The world will be a little less bright with Pete gone. My thoughts and prayers to the family. God Bless.
