I know this is a very difficult time for the family. Something that has always given me comfort is a scripture at Revelation 21:4, it says, "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” I sincerely hope this brings you some comfort.

Dane and Steve,
We were sorry to hear of your dad's passing. We were lucky to meet Pete and count him among our friends who made our Winchester stay so enjoyable. Pete was a special guy, a man of few words, who had a wonderful dry sense of humor. We had some great times at his place enjoying the scenery, the companionship, and the peaceful sounds just outside the city. Pete has been in our thoughts and prayers sice we saw him last fall. We will miss him, but so appreciate our memories of the good times.
