    My heart goes out to you. I will always remember coming out to the house with grandma and grandpa. Such sweet memories. Loved those visits with Uncle Pete and Aunt Wilda, playing hide and seek with Rick and Ed, and just having a great time. Now they are together once again. Hang in there..

    So sorry to hear of Pete’s passing. Pete and Becky were such good friends to my parents Connie and Ronnie Roudebush. I don’t know what we would have done without them when my parents both got sick and passed away. My thoughts and prayers go out to Pete’s family and Becky and her family.
