Pete,
I still can't believe you are gone as you were such an important part of my life for the past 9 years! You've been like another father to me and cherished our true friendship, all the stories, happy times and also the sad. Especially with losing my mom recently on August 7th, I so depended on speaking to you each and every day. Mom in the AM and Pete in the PM....a very hard 'habit' to break.
Every time my phone rings, I expect it to be you, but then realize that you are now in a place where you have so longed to be since Mary's passing back in February 2012.
Inspite of my many tears of sorrow, I also have tears of such joy and happiness in my heart for you as you are finally where you have wanted to be for so very, very long...back home with you precious Mary Lucy! I can only imagine that you are sharing your mutual love of music once again (now with the Angels playing), are in no more pain, no more sleepless nights...you're finally free.
But that still doesn't mean that I am not missing you and our nightly conversations, know that is my selfishness...wanting you to still be at the other end of the phone, instead of at your final resting place.
You made such an impression on me to do the very best job I can possibly do and to never give up! You never did, right up until the very end. You might have been small of stature, but you were one of the most 'larger than life', energenic packed individuals I have ever had the honor of meeting and forming a true friendship with.
Sweet dreams my dear Peter, know that I still love you and know that both you and Mary, along with my mom and dad are now with me everywhere I go. I have all of those special memories of you all locked in my heart that no one can ever take away from me and look forward to the day that we will once meet again with our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Love,
Beverly Boden
