Alicia, Tisha, I remember your dad well. I hadn't thought of him since back in those days when it seems we all spent every day together, those were some fun times, if life could be as simple now. I remember always being welcomed at your house, and your dad always treating me as a friend, and made me feel welcomed to be there, always.You don't get that from everybody's parents. I will always remember those times and your family, take care.
My prayers are with you all!

Me. Pete, it's funny but I always think of you every time my husband does anything around the house . He always has to call me "LARA" I need your help, come here" . You always did that with Ms. Donna when we were kids."DONNA, come here and help me." I never really thought about it back then but now I know how it is to really NEED and love someone the way you did Ms. Donna. And the respect you and your daughters had for each other was wonderful. The way it's supposed to be. I don't get aggravated anymore when he asks me for help all the time. I cherish it. Every moment. Thank you. You are a wonderful man, father, husband, friend.

A man that not one person on earth has a bad thing to say about. A man that showed me how a man is supposed to love his daughters and wife. That's pretty awesome! I love you, Mr. Pete. You will be remembered fondly, always!

So sorry to know Pete left so early, but am certain that he is in the very best place (with the Lord). I pray the long journey of grief will be buffered by memories of great joy and fun in the lives of this lovely family. 2012 has been rough for losing loved ones, our Bridgette and so many others we love. Pax vo biscum. I remember the fun we used to have when Joe and I were dating and first married so long ago. Love to all.
