Although I never met your family, Pete, I certainly feel as though I did. I always admired your love and devotion to your family. Your children and wife always came first. I have always thought the world of you from the first time we met. It was in 1997. Peter and Kathryn were little tykes. It was always fun to see you whipping out recent photos of them when I saw you once or twice a year over the next 15 years. You and Kathy did an awesome job!! I hate that we are reconnecting in this context. It is so very sad! My best to you, Kathy, Kathryn, and all of the grandparents, aunts, and uncles. May God's grace comfort you. XXOO~ Hayne
