My Sweet Brother

Please give Moma a kiss and hug from me and tell her I miss and love her, give Daddy a hug and tell Marie to straighten up and play nice to everyone there!

Your baby sis

What can I say about my Uncle Pete...a lot! He was the best 4-leaf clover finder, had a great sense of humor, hard worker, absolutely loved his family,  especially his Momma. 
We didn't always see eye to eye on yard work, but he understood where I was coming from. And if I had a problem at Grandmommas,  he'd always  be right there. No questions asked. 
He used to take me and watch the airplanes take off at the airport when I was little. 
Uncle Pete you're in a better place now, so go spread your wings and fly.

Prayers and love to the family.. I have been friends/family with Mona since we were 8 yrs old..
Pete was always so nice and funny to me, anytime he saw me. When they lived across from his mom’s house, I lived on the front street.. my mom would walk me to the corner and Pete would watch me til I got to their house and then reversed going back home..He always worried every time I saw him, if I wanted something to drink or eat.. when I was a kid, if there were cookies in the laundry area, he would get one and give it to me.. You couldn’t tell him no thank you lol.. 

My grandpa was such a kind-hearted, welcoming and joyful person. He had many friends and visitors who all cared for him soulfully. He loved to meet people and even to see a familiar face once again. Grandpa was full of the best jokes.. and through the years, i still heard new ones occasionally! I remember his love for music and funny videos he’d always share. He and grandma never missed a single school event of mine, that i can remember. He loved to sit outside with his morning coffee, enjoy the peace of nature and bird watch. One of the last, yet funniest memories i have of him was when he was flirting with the nurses in the hospital! Telling her she should be Miss America! He always found peace through the chaos, which may be what i admire the most about him. My grandpa was a hard working man, loyal to his family, and gave as much as he could throughout his life. You are forever loved, appreciated, and carried on within so many of our hearts. You are greatly missed. I love you grandpa.

Oh how I will you and those silly jokes you told ever time we talked.  You were my HERO growing up and I never told that and I have kicked myself for not telling you.
You are in a better place now..drinking Moma sweet tea, talking Nascar with Daddy and shooting the breeze with Marie and the other family members.
So fly high, my Pete, and have a blast!
