    Oh, Sis, this is such sad news. That your son and his uncle will be meeting in Heaven, though, is a happy thought. I'll try to enter but not to win. I just want to express kind words and thoughts to all of you and to your son and Brother-in-law.

    What you're doing is thoughtful and loving

    love and
    Dee

    It sure seems like some families have so many times of trial to go through. What doesn't destroy you makes you a much stronger person as well as that much more able to help others on your way through life. God bless you and yours through this time of trial and need.

    There is much pain in life we do not understand perhaps there are reasons who can say....you have all these beautiful memories to keep in your heart and i pray you can reach out for them and reflect with love on the good. Kelle my wish is that within the lines and words of your contest may there be a comfort that will reach out and touch your family. Give it up to Him in faith and let His love be your light guiding your path. Never alone always with love.

    May God sustain you, Pete and all your family through your trials and tribulations. May God give you the strength to endure and safegaurd your hearts and mental powers through his Beloved Son Jesus Christ. May God be with you all as you endure in and through your faith in the promises God has made, "He will by no means leave you or forsake you."
