Dear Marlene and Dean - I am so sorry about your Uncle Pete's passing away. I have such good memories of him during visits at your house when we were all little. He was always so nice to us, such a very good man. I know you will both miss him very much. He was so good to your mother. My deepest condolences. Judi Wilks (Wanda's sister)
