To all of the Yanity Family
I was so sorry to hear about Dr. Yanity's death. I have so many great memories with all of you. Sitting around your kitchen table for hours . . . lots of great laughs. "Big Pete" was a great guy. He always had a joke and a big laugh.
My thoughts and prayers, along with those of all the Begert Clan, are with all of you.
