It was very hard to diagest the news of Pierre being taken from us. Although I had not kept in touch with him over the years, Pierre still meant alot to me. May the family find comfort in your memories of someone who was so loved.

You will be greatly missed. I spoke with you on 4-28-07 with Vincent's phone, joking around and acting silly, as usally. Its unfortunate, that I never got a chance to go to church with you and Vincent. I will always remember our last conversation. Rest in peace!

Uncle Pete was a great person. Always calm and relaxed. It is a terrible thing that has happened to him. I was just with him 1/2 before his death and I must say that I felt he was at peace. He will be greatly missed.
