Same as it ever was! Talking heads song...But It's NOT the same as it ever was...without you here on earth! I miss you! I love you! And you better not be grumpy to God or Jesus have to kick you butt! Lol. I'm comforted KNOWING that you were/are a BELIEVER in the Love of Christ. Our Savior. See you when I get there my friend...I bet you cruising around tearing up the clouds riding your ULTIMATE Gator tractor up there! Send me a sign. So I can smile...I KNOW you will. Cause you know I looked all over for you when you went missing. Peace

My condolences to Pete's family & friends at this difficult time. I pray for comfort and peace to come to all swiftly. To Petey: I miss singing songs, checking on each other, listening to your life's experiences and Red Sox games. I find peace that you are no longer suffering and I know of your faith in Jesus Christ whom has brought you to Heaven. I love you, miss you, and will never forget you. I bet God gave you a Gator to ride around in. Lol. Your friend, Jill
