Not sure what to say?

Pete is back with Karen and I’m sure they are two-stepping once again. They were both dear friends and will be missed. To their family, never forget the happy memories and the love they shared with each other and all of you.

Pete loved Karen and she loved him the same. Karen and I worked together, if she needed a hair pin, he would Kindly bring it to her. They loved their children, and were very proud of them. I know that they are in heaven at the park having a picnic. They were beautiful people!

I am a friend of Pete's daughter in law Heather. I live in New York and only met him through face time call once he moved with them. We spoke like old friends. I looked forward to meeting him on my next trip out. He was a friendly happy man. I wish I could have met him in person. Thank you Erin and Heather Petersen for opening your hearts and home to him and giving him a loving and memorable time with his family.
