Not sure what to say?

"He heals the brokenhearted; He binds up their wounds. He counts the number of the stars; He calls all of them by name." - Psalm 147:3,4
Although I didn't know your husband, I appreciated his interest in the the heavens. It reminded me of this passage of Scripture that assures of God's willingness to help us through hard times and that he knows and cares for us individually just as he knows each one of the countless stars. Wishing you comfort and peace.

Dear Ginx,
I am so very sorry for your loss and we will miss Pete so very much! We have so many wonderful and fun memories, starting at Arcadia High School, U of A, becoming neighbors in Arcadia as well as so many more...
My family and I are keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,

Dear Ginx,
A beautiful obituary for your partner in crime. Much love to you & the boys.

Ginx, you know how much you and Pete have meant to me over the years, no words needed. I will be here for you and the boys. Always. I'm sending healing, love and light to all of you.

Ginx/Virginia,
Pete was a fixture at the Kappa parties at the U of A. He hated them and only went because he loved you so much! He fought long and hard with you at his side. He can rest now.

Virginia

Virginia, Matt and Mike,
We will always remember Pete as a great husband, father, neighbor and friend.
We cherish the memories of our front patio discussions about the "important stuff" in life.
Rest in peace, friend.
