May your memories bring you comfort.
Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.

Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.

Don and Mary Jane, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your son. I can imagine nothing worse than losing a child no matter their age. My heart aches for you and yours. I pray for you the same love and support you gave, from your heart, to Sheila, Vickie, me and our families during our loss. I am so glad you are a part of Stacy and the kid's lives. If there is anything at all I can do for you, please ask. Remember, God Loves You!

Words alone cannot express my sympathy on the untimely death of Pete. It is an understatment to say that his time here was way too short. All who loved and knew him will sorely miss him. I hope the outpouring of sympathy you all have received has been of some consolation. Hopefully it will serve as a reminder to you of how well-loved and liked Pete was.

It just broke our hearts to hear about Pete's passing, and we can't even imagine the pain that all of you are going through. Please know that we enjoyed being around Pete at the many family gatherings that our two families shared over the years. He was so good natured and always smiling despite having to deal with the crazy antics of our five boys! We hope that you will continue to find comfort and happiness in knowing that Pete truly touched the lives and hearts of so many others. Cherish those memories forever. God Bless all of you.

To the Bienhoff Family, I am so sorry to hear about Peter, your family is in my thoughts and prayers. I have special memories of Peter as a child. His big sister Ann would load him in the back seat of her Pinto along with a couple of us high school girls and we would drive around with Peter. He was one of the gang.

To the Bienhoff Family,
I cannot find words to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. I remember Peter as a fun loving little kid when I first met your family back in 1976. Although I had not been around him for many years, Ann always kept me updated about his life.
I know you will each hold on to your fond memories of Pete, and I hope this helps to ease your pain today. I wish I could be there with you. I want you to know that I will continue to pray for your family. I love you all dearly. May God bless each of you-

Bienhoff Family, Our thoughts and prayers are with all of your during the very difficult time. Pete was such a neat kid and young man. Even though I had not seen him in years, I will always remember two things about him. First, the unbeleivable attitude he had dealing with his disease. I never heard him complain about it ever. And secondly, his face when he smiled. It had a chilhood innocence to it with his round face, warm eyes and big smile. I will always remeber Steve joking with him and the response on Pete's face. God must of needed a postive role model for a child in heaven. God Bless, Steve and Debbie Meschede
