During his time on earth, h e was faced with many obstacles, but he never gave up, he kept pushing until he took his last breath and his earth l y body had given out. In his health ier days, " Pete " was the life of any party, keeping people laughing and smiling, and to his children, he was the best cook there was. He loved his family and always wanted to see them happy, that is why we cannot mourn for him, we must be mindful that he is not suffering, nor is he in any more pain. "Pete" has taken his rightful Angel wings, so let us rejoice that his soul is now with the LORD.
