Pete,
Sorry to hear about your wife, my condolences to you and your family.

Pete you have our sympathy. We are praying for God to walk with you through this season of your life.

I've known Judy for many years. We first met in Saginaw back in the late 1970's. I moved my banking to Citizens Bank when she became the branch manager in Frankenmuth. Judy was always pleasant and a First Class person. She always greeted you with a smile. I learned how much she loved her family from our many conversations. I was honored to help plan her new home with Pete on Warnick Rd. Her Son Don and I shared an office together for several years. He and his wife Jenny have become great...

Uncle Pete, keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.
Love Greta and Jason McGuire

Pete and family - I am so very, very sorry to hear of Judy's passing. She was a wonderful person with a smile that lit up the room! She had a heart of gold. Hugs and prayers to all of you
