To Pete's loved ones,
So sorry for your loss. Pete was such an interesting man with many stories. We enjoyed seeing him during his visits at Lou and Stacey's home. He always had a good time around his family and friends. Pete was a man with lots of love and a big spirit. We won't forgot him. God Bless you, Pete.
En paz descanse y sea con el Señor. Nuestros rezas estan por ti. Te extrañaríamos.
Atentamente
