Mom
Your mom has been through a lot this year, with her heart and back it amazes me how she keeps her spirits up. I know, that you look down to and see her because you were in the car when she had the accident. You see, you are your moms angel. Love George
I can't believe 12 years have passed. All my memories with you seem like just yesterday. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you. Iason has some of your characteristics and behaviors and does things just like you. For that I am greatfull because I feel like a part of you lives on in him. I miss you so much baby brother and I wish the simple words of "the Devils a poopie" would have made all the hurt and pain go away. I love you so very much.
It's been 12 years since your death but it feels like yesterday. I still miss you more than I can explain and I love you with my whole heart. February 28th is the day of the year that my world seems to stand still. Pete, you are forever in my heart. Please continue to watch over me. This is sent with all my love.
Mom XXXX OOOO
Love George
Although you are always in my heart, I wish that you were still here with me. I know that you would have been a truly great man as you were such an incredible boy and young man. I can't even express how much I miss you. I love you with my whole heart. Please watch over me. Love, Mom XXXX OOOO
This day is the saddest day in our lives. I look at your memorial stone everyday. And think of the short time we had to meet, the sadness that your mom feels everyday and the love that you shared with everyone you touched.
Love
George
I did not forget you on this day, I wanted to wait a day so your mom could leave you attribute first. I know that God has you surrounded with angels and love on his son's birthday, just like your mom did when you were here with us. We miss you so much Pete.
Love
George
Yet another year has come and gone without you. I see your memorial that your mom has placed in her garden, everyday. And I can not get myself beyond the sadness that your mom goes through by not having you beside her. Pete, I know that God has you in his hands.
Love
George
Your mom and I are going to move to a really nice play. The only thing that we will be missing is you. I got to clean the love garden, loaded with leaves. can hardly see your plaque. Pete, I wish with all my heart you were her.
Love
George
Today, like every Christmas since you have been with the angels, is so difficult for all of us. Your mom is so saddened by you not being here to hug you so tight. I send you my love, and know that you are looking at all of us while holding God's hand.
Love
George
Another year has passed, and the hurt just does not heal for your mom. You are in her heart every moment of everyday. please have one of God's angels look down on her today, to lift her heart. I miss you Pete.
Love George
I spoke with your Mom last night and continued the special relationship we have shared for decades. We reminisced of years past, and spoke especially of you. We laughed over some of your antics and cried over your incredible display of maturity at a very young age. You were/are handsome in every sense of the word. However, your eyes were the insight to your soul. And that was/is beauty beyond description.
Pete, your time with us was short but most profound. You are a very rare person who came to us and fulfilled your calling at a very young age. Knowing all this does not lessen the heaviness in my heart or the sadness in my soul. Then again, I am blessed to have had you in my life and would not trade that experience for anything imaginable.
Smile on your Mom and know how much you are loved and missed.
Every strawberry reminds me of you.
Love Clara
For the rest of my life, this day that you left us will be heavily laden on my heart. Miss you so much Pete.
Love
George
I so do wish with all my heart that you are here with us. Miss you a lot. I will give your mom a kiss for you.
Love
George

The Bond Between Mother and Son Lasts a Lifetime
Pete,
My friend, Claudia, shared this with me and I wanted to share it with you because I think it is so true. Even though you are on the other side, I still feel such a strong bond with you. You will be a part of my life and my heart for as long as I live. So, until we are together again, I share the following.
The Bond Between Mother and Son Lasts a Lifetime
The bond between Mother and Son is a special one
It remains unchanged by time or distance
It is the purest love - unconditional and true
It is understanding of any situation and forgiving of any mistake.
Thank you, Claudia
With a pool in our back yard, every year we had at least two holiday pool parties. Memorial Day, we celebrated the beginning of a sunny and fun summer season. And, Labor Day we celebrated all of the great summer times that had passed and we prepared to wrap up our pool parties for the season.
At every pool party, Pete would wait for the perfect moment and he would "moon" everyone from high above the diving board. He was usually followed by his best friend Traves. Our friends came to expect it but it always drew hearty applause.
If Tomorrow Starts Without Me
When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today.
While thinking of the many things
We didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye
For all my life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
So much left yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for a while,
I'd say good-bye and hug you
And maybe see you smile,
But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things, I
might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity,
And all I've promised you."
Today your life on earth is past,
But here life starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
And since each day's the same way
There's no longing for the past.
You have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
Though there were times
You did some things
You knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
And now at last you're free.
So won't you come and take my hand
And share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.
