I first met Pete & Rene about 1970, Pete and I both ran for school board against a third individual, we met and struck up a friendship that was so wonderful. Even though Pete passed shortly after that, the times we would run into each other were always warm and special. What wonderful people, I am sure those wonderful memories you all have will be a comfort in days to come. God blessed you all with these special people, may we be able to pass on what we learned from them.
