David Eugene Peterson

David and I were born within a few days of each other and were playpen mates during the first years of our lives in Baton Rouge. Our parents were best friends and our moms loved to shop and the one (and only) time they left us in the care of our dads, came home to discover a number of martinis had been consumed (by Bernie and Pete) and David and I asleep in the playpen!. Our whole family will miss him!

You will be missed by so many people. We had a good many years together, you gave me my most blessed gift, our son, Jon Thomas! I truly believe he is a creation of the best of both of us. I loved you with all my heart and wished we could have made our marriage work and made it to our old age together! Rest well in the arms of our Savior, you are at peace now!
