Prayers for your family

Bless Gail and the family... so much love and memories!

LOVE!

I remember Pete in two different ways... my early years and present years. When I was a child, I remember having to be very quiet because he was always sleeping at my Nanny’s house. I believe he was working nights, so I didn’t know him well. As I grew up, I was around him more and more and liked being around him. He was a quiet guy at times and took it all in, but at others he told me about the history of Marion and drove me around to see deer. I love him!!

Prayers for your precious family during this difficult time.

Prayers for your family.
