Connie and family,
I was so sorry to hear about your loss. My mom loved to go to Pete's in the summer and get vegetables! When Mama was still able to cook, we ate vegetables from his garden year round at Sunday dinner. She thought it was so cool when she found out that Tim and Jonathan were such good friends and she had been getting vegetables from his grandpa. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. May God wrap you in His Arms of Love and give you Peace.
