Ann and family, James and I are so sorry to hear of Pete's passing. We will always remember hlm for his tireless work at Central and for his quick smile and willingness to help. Our prayers are with you as you go through this very sad time. We know Pete has endured much these past years and is finally resting with Jesus.

I will always think of Pete, and Ann, as the most loving couple and always opening their home to everyone and making people feel welcomed. He was a kind and generous man and I am happy he gave Ann a good 30 years and now he is all better and with our Lord. I love you Ann, and my thoughts and prayers are with you. I just wish I could be there, but you are on my mind constantly.With love, June.
