Mrs. Davis & Family, I was sorry to hear of the loss of Pete. He was my first foreman at Allied 33 years ago. He was a kind and fair person with a great sense of humor! He will be missed by all that knew him!

Nothing on earth can prepare our hearts for that last goodbye. May God give you what only God can give -- comfort and peace beyond all understanding.

It is never easy to let go and in reality we never really do totally. But knowing our loved ones are in a beautiful place and in God's loving care, eases our pain. May God's loving arms surround you all.

Roy and I are very saddened about Uncle Pete's death. Even though ALzheimer's is such a debilitating and dreadful disease, it is NEVER easy to let go. We are thinking about you, Freida, and your entire family.

Our love and prayers go out to each of you.

Much love,
Shirley and Roy
