Pete,

We all miss you so much! I know you're in a better place, but it's hard to think that I'll never see your smiling face again. Never hear your laugh again. Holidays and family gatherings will never be the same. You always managed to make us laugh, and always had interesting stories to tell. You were always there. Always. Until now. And it breaks my heart beyond measure.
Rest in peace dear cousin, and know that you were loved by all.
Your Cousin,
"Little Maria"
