The Klein’s are looking up to you today dad. Love you.

Looking up to you today dad. Love you more than words could explain.

Looking up at you today dad. Love you more than I could ever explain.

I live everyday to fill the shoes of the man you were.

The anniversary of your death is fast approaching....it is as hard today thinking about your death, as it was last year going through the motions of coping. My tears still flow, my heart still sad, and the questions still are unanswered. I know you are now at peace, and for that I rejoice!

You will always be my baby brother and have a special place in my heart!

Love today and always....

Well Pete, The holidays are over, and we have packed the decorations away for another year. On Christmas Eve, as we all gathered to continue the Polish Tradition that mummy started so long ago, you were with us......like you always are..however...there was a sadness in the air, and even though we did our best, we cried.......missing you and mummy........It is still hard to know you are gone.....so many people loved you Pete. You were the one person who could make us all laugh......And now,...

Pete.....It is almost Thanksgiving and you are missed and mourned by all of us. It is as difficult today, as it was the day we heard the news of your death. The pain is still there and my heart is still heavy. I visit you weekly at the cemetery to sit and talk with you..You are still the first person I think about in the morning, and the last person at night. I pray that you are at peace.... watch over your kids Pete.....your death has been extremely difficult on them.

We...

Well Pete, on the first day of each month, I think about you.......and still not fully embracing the fact that you are gone...the pain in my heart is still heavy. It is said that time heals all pain, but that isn't the case.....I feel as much sadness as the day we got the news. I close my eyes at night and see you Pete and I wonder WHY.......

I know you are now at peace, but our lives have been changed for eternity!

Love always.....

Still painful to know you are gone Pete, but you are in my thoughts everyday. Somehow, I think that if I continue writing in this, it will lessen the pain...of course, it hasn't as of today, but I keep trying to find the cure for the sadness! This weekend I found lots of pictures from our childhood that made me laugh, and then of course cry! I love you Pete.........

Love always
Roe
