This last week we had a tragedy in our family. A long time member and good friend past away. Pete arrived on Christmas Morning, in 2004, and has been loved ever since. He was well know for his long life, his endurance through our many moves, as well as his gulping mouth. His final resting place is in the Phillips Backyard.
At the funeral, guests said the following things:
Tucker: I will miss talking to Pete
Truman: My Love Pete
Mom: I will miss Pete following my finger.
Dad: I will miss feeding him.
