Lois,
My heart and prayers are with you. We know, as beleivers in Jesus Christ, brother Pete is now with the Lord.
When I think of Pete, I immediately thought of Phillipians 3: 13 - 14, which says:
Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 4I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Pete ran the race right up until the end.

Lois (and family),
I was saddened to hear of your loss.
It was a pleasure meeting both of you at Lake Taylor Hospital.
If you would like to call me later on, my phone number is 499-5334.
