Pete was my first "boss" at DNR in the late 1970's. I remember him as a great person!

Dear God,please help us to see this life from a heavenly perspective.
Remind us that our trials, however difficult, will one fade from view we see You face to face.
The way we view eternity will effect the way we lie in time.
I wish to give my condolences to Dave and Arleen and family members.
