Robin, I am so sorry to lose Pete and know that your heart is heavy. He was a great friend that I truly loved. I'm so glad to have had you both in my life and appreciate the Christian values that you've both demonstrated. I will never forget you both paying a visit to my beloved sister Meri in the hospital when she was so critically ill and how much that meant to her and me. Lakewood will be forever blessed because of Pete's service to our heavenly Father! Pete has now heard "Well done, good and faithful servant." Until we all meet again.

Our prayers on behalf of Robin and the boys. Robin, what good times you and Peter and Joy and I had together in high school and early adulthood. He was a special guy, a great friend and dedicated to his family and to the Lord. I know his passing leaves a big hole in many lives. So looking forward to reuniting with him on the other side.
