Not sure what to say?

Faye, we are so sad to hear of your loss. Pete was always one of our favorite guys at Packard and we shared many laughs with him thru the years. I know that his humor will provide you and your family with many memories that will help deal with your sadness. He was a wonderful person and we are better for having known him. We will keep you in our thoughts.

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

We little knew that evening that God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone, for part of us went with you the day God called you home.
You left us peaseful memories, your love still our guide; and though we cannot see you you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Faye and family,
Please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
I pray God will comfort you and give you HIS peace as only HE can.
Sincerely,
Judy Garren-Smith
Brandon, MS

i'm so sorry Faye to hear of your loss. i've always had fond memories of you and Pete. it's hard to think of my childhood on Monroe, without thinking of all the people who were a influence on my life. Pete was one of those people, along with you. of course, we can't forget granny. some my earliest and fondest memories are of our familys getting together. i can't think of daddy, without seeing Pete, grinning beside him. two pranksters. i wish you all the best and my most sincere condolences....

Russell family, my thoughts and prayers are with you as you say "until we meet again" to one of the best men I have ever known. Faye, you helped me during my greatest heart break and I will always be a phone call away for you. Pete will be missed by many, but he left a legacy to his children and grandchildren they will never forget. Dwell on the precious memories you have and don't forget to laugh. Your Lord will carry you through the tough days ahead and will bring you all together again. We...

Russell family you are in my thoughts and prayers. May GOD comfort you during this time of sorrow. Peggy Maddox

Russell Family,
As life goes on for us, we never let go of the fond memories we have of our friends and love ones. It gives us a means of holding on, especially in our thoughts and prayers. Pete was the type of person you never forget. A person who never met a stranger and everyone that met him loved him. His sense of humor was enjoyed by all who knew him. These excellent traits of a good person and more will be a loss to all, but fond memories will last on and on. Our hearts and...
