To "Little Pete's" Dad. "Little Pete" was almost 3 years old the last time I had seen him. I am happy he was able to give you another 3.5 decades of family memories, but very sad to hear of your loss. The latter coined name "RePete" is a very fitting adult name as his looks so strongly resemble you. I immediately noticed RePete still had your twinkle in his eyes in the most recent picture too. I am happy to hear that "Little Pete" gave you a very special Daughter-In-Law and Granddaughter to enjoy reflecting upon all the fond memories of your awesome son. RePete will be happy to spend more quality time with Grandpa Harvey again. Take care Pete.

From the bottom of my heart/core of my soul sending prayers/love to you Cathy, Angel,Charlie,Pete & rest of family. I remember us Cathy, becoming friends at a special time, you at the end of pregnancy w/Peter and I at the beginning w/Mariah. What a special baby he was, always mellow/smiling, growing up to be witty, humorous. Been a while since I've seen Peter, but that contagious smile, twinkle in his eyes, def that! As difficult/painful as this journey is for all of you, I pray you it comforts you knowing he is immersed in God's powerful protective white light, surrounded by his family/friends. ^i^ Peace/Love/God Bless...Aunty Canary <3
