We know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They will continue to participate in every thought and act. Peter’s love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. Our lives have been so very enriched by having shared his love. You will be missed more than words can say forever and always Uncle Pete – You were an amazing person.
