Dear Tim and family,
It is with great sadness in my heart that I learn of Pete's passing. I am aware all too well of the emptiness that is left behind when someone you love so much has left our world. I lost my husband earlier this year and am left with many more questions than answers but I continue to have faith that the ones that we love so much must surely live on for energy doesn't die , it just changes. We will meet again....
I have many fond memories of time spent with your family as a young girl and I remember your Dad well. He was a very nice man with a great sense of humor. I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers.
Much love,
Penny (Francis) McEvoy

Dear Cathy and family,
As I worked with you over the years Cathy you always spoke highly of your mom and dad and talked about the good times with your family. So I know your father's passing is a real loss, but I am pretty sure there are wonderful memories to help carry you through this time. Will keep you in our prayers.

Dear Irene, Mike, Shirl, Dave, Mary, Nancy, Cathy, Tim & Peter- I will always remember all of the times at the McGinnis house - and the first thing Pete said to me the day Mary brought me home from school, "Finally - a red head!" Our families have been connected for so many years. Pete was fun, funny, and well loved. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
