Ruth, Tina & Tony,
I know words can't describe how bad you are hurting. We just wanted you to know how much we loved Pete and how much we miss having him and Ruth across the Hwy to watch over us. I miss you both very much every day.
Love
Barbara & Evangline

Dear Tony, Ms. Ruth, Tina and family,

I was so sorry and saddened to hear of Pete's death. I have many wonderful memories of your home and family. Mr. Pete always made me feel special and treated me like a family member. Please know I'm thinking of you and I hope your own memories of Pete bring you happiness.

I have many memories of Mr Pete, I will never forget him, how he and Mrs Ruth watched over my mother. They were truely good friends and neighbors, the saddest day I can remember was when they moved away. I can still see him walking to the mailbox with his walkie talkie and Mrs Ruth calling him if he wasn't back when she thought he should have been. I will miss him and I know my mother already misses both of them. Mrs Ruth, Tina and Tony I know this is a really hard time, just remember all the great memories you have. God is with you all and he will see you through this. Love you.

Chris, Tina, and Scott,

I did not know Mr. Pete but I heard much about him from Inez and Billy (my in-laws), and from Chris. I know he will be missed. I will pray for you and your family in this time of loss. God be with you.
