How I will always remember my Uncle Pete: A generous, soft-spoken, and kind-hearted man with a twinkle in his eye and a warmth in his smile and laugh. I am so grateful for the promise of heaven for those who believe in Christ Jesus! We will see you again, Uncle Pete! My thoughts and prayers are with my Aunt Martha, my cousins Sharon, Ken and Laura, and their families. May each of you feel the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit covering you, holding you close, and bringing you His peace and comfort. Much love to you all.
