I was very sorry to hear of Pete's passing. He was a classmate of mine and one of the kindest people in our class. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to each and every one of his family members, and I am glad his life was blessed with a great marriage and children.

Deb, Pete, and Jordan,
We are extremely sad to know you have to go through this hard time right now. Pete will be greatly missed. We will miss his smile and the little talks we've had over the fence and him waving or saying hi. I remember how proud both you were when you brought the boys home from the hospital, Pete had that proud smile, and when he gave me potty training advice for my boys. It has always be nice having great neighbors like you. If you ever need a helping hand we are here for you. You, Pete, and Jordan and your entire family are in our thoughts and prayers. May God watch over your family and help you get through this tough time.
Sincerely, your neighbors,
Melissa, Eric, Travis, and Tanner Cory
Please don't hesitate to ask.

I was very sorry to hear of Peter's passing. Although it has been many years since we last saw each other, when I think of Peter it's with fondness in remembering a kind, quiet individual with a great sense of humor and a real knowledge of what a true friend should be. Prayers and sympathies for your family.
