To Beth and the whole family. I was saddened to hear of Pete's passing. What a great guy and anyone who could get grass to grow under that big pine knew what he was doing. A quiet but personable guy, Pete will be fondly remembered here on Earth and pain free up in Heaven. -Scott D.

Dear Beth,

I am so sorry to read that Pete has fallen asleep in death. My heart aches for you.

Please find comfort in these words from our Heavenly Father, as they are intended to do:

Matthew 10: 29 & 31 - Do not two sparrows sell for a coin of small value? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without YOUR Father's [knowledge].  But the very hairs of YOUR head are all numbered.  Therefore have no fear: YOU are worth more than many sparrows.

Pete is in God's memory and that is the best and safest place that we can be.
