Pete, I just want you to know how much love I have for you & your family right now. I am just at a loss for words over your death right now. After losing Buddha last year & now you not even a year later, I only ask WHY ?? Why would 2 young loving friends of mine & so many others die so young. You'll be missed, you ARE missed and I just can't believe it. I pray for your wife Lauren & daughter Leah and your beloved sister Amy to be able to continue on with your strength through this difficult time. We will keep your memory alive for many years to come and we all have so many! Thanks for the good times Pete. RIP
