Keith, Kathy and Families,
I saw your dad's obituary in the paper. I am sorry for your loss. I did not realize that your mother had passed away also. She was one of my favorite high school teachers. Your parents were wonderful people. God be with your family during this time of sorrow.

Keith, Kathy and Josh,
Pete was a very special man and a great friend to both of my parents. I am glad he is no longer suffering nor limited by his earthly body, but very sad that he can no longer be with us. He will be truly missed.
