Gwen and family, I send my most heart-felt condolences. How I wish we'd kept in touch over these past 40+ years and our days at Choctawhatchee High but now is not too late. We have fond memories of you two and one funny incident comes to mind--Pete, Chad, and Chad Jr were having lunch at Lums. Little Chad put his ABC gum on the edge of his plate and Pete thought it was left over food and put it in his mouth. Also, I had no idea you'd lost a 2nd son. I would love your email address to get in touch with you.
Please know that you're in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this most difficult period for Pete's home-going must leave a huge void in your heart.
