However, may you enjoy, the greatest joy ever, & help keep an eye on Pam ! I'll see you'all later, ok, Bro !

Condolence: Even though we had no contact as adults, Peter, my eyes filled up with tears when I heard the news of your passing.

Condolence: From a friend to a friend you will always be missed. I will never let you be forgoten in my prayers. When the time comes and I call on you just open the door and let me in you will always be my BBF love you my brother.

Condolence: i will always remember Peter aka lil red dog for the good times we had when we used to go to buddy's high school football games with my brother Dave...We would ride in my brothers taxi...we cut up, laughed til we cried...A GOLDEN HEART STOPPED BEATING,HARD WORKING HANDS WERE PUT TO REST.GOD BROKE OUR HEARTS TO PROVE HE ONLY TAKES THE VERY BEST....

Condolence: First i want to send my Love and Thoughts and Prayers to my extended Family in Texas.Peter was always a happy and always had a smile for anyone needing one.He was always so polite and caring.He had a corny sense of humor that always made you think.And he was one hack of a fisherman.He could make a pole out of a stick and a piece of string.Him and David spent a lot of time fishing.They didn't usually catch anything but they had fun trying.Pete was brave in his battle with cancer but he never let it ruin his zest for life.A few weeks ago i talked to Peter and he said he wasn't afraid.He actually told me he was looking forward to seeing David again.In closing my fondest Memory of Peter was when he got to Utah we had a conversation and he told me he would always be around to make sure the people he cared about were okay.He always thought about everyone else.Vanessa Ancira

Condolence: I am Vanessa's mother. My memory of Pete is how polite he always was to me. Even tho I am not related he always called me Grandma just like his cousin Christoper. I really enjoyed visiting and seeing him when he was here in Utah. He was a good friend. IW will miss him very much.

Condolence: My most special memory about my brother was right before he passed away. I refused to believe that his time was near, because he continued to make jokes and tell funny stories to make us all laugh. When my sister Mary Alice and I were alone with Peter, he said he was ready to go. He said, " I am ready for God to come and take me when He is ready to." Peter was very strong and loving up until his last day on earth. I know he suffered so much, but was comforted through his faith. Much thanks to Pam for being there for him and taking such good care of him. He also told us how special she was to him and how much he truly loved her, and was blessed to have her in his life.

Condolence: I remember when we were little playing at Welita Elena's house on our visits to Austin. With cousin Jr. (my brother). As we are very close in age to Peter, My brother was born in '63 and myself in '62. So no time has passed and we are all missing you grieving your passing. May the God Of Comfort be with us all. But most especially with my Tia More your sweet mother that has always been there for others in their time of need, your siblings and others whose lives he touched. We yearn to be with him when he rises to answer to God's calling to a resurrection in a soon to become paradise Earth. When God's kingdom will dwell with mankind to our best interest. No more pain suffering or death. Mt 6:9,10 says "Let your kingdom come let your will be done on earth as it is (has already taken place) in Heaven" With all our loved ones that have passed in death... Be blessed my family in Austin.. Diana Mendez in Lubbock Texas.
