The TN Campbell County Sheriff, Gary Perkins, called this evening around 8pm to advise us that Pete's recovery is complete. Pete's body surfaced today and was spotted at 7pm by an off-duty police officer. The Univ of Tenn Medical Center in Knoxville will conduct an autopsy tomorrow and Pete will be returned home thereafter. We will lay Peter to rest in our family burial plot in Glendale at Oak Hill Cemetery.
We are thankful and grateful to so many people for the love, support and compassion given to us over the last 36 days. We are in awe of how many lives Pete touched and impacted in his short life. We are proud of the gentleman he was and are grateful for the love of neighbors, friends and family who have seen us through this tragedy and loss.
Blessings and love,
Helene, Bob and Paul

Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.

Footprints
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging
to him, and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it: "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me."
The Lord replied:
"My son, my precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

Some people come into our lives and move our souls to dance.
They awaken us to a new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom.
Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon.
They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints in our hearts, and we are never, ever the same.
friendship.
good times

To the loving family and friends of Peter... Through reading all the heartfelt entries and getting to know how special he is to all of you, I felt inclined to send an email to let you know my husband, the off-duty Ohio police officer was the person who discovered Peter at Norris Lake. The sky was peaceful on a beautiful, clear, and sunny day and we had spent the day with family on the lake. We protected him until the LaFollotte Rescue team arrived. We are so thankful that he is able to be returned to his endearing family and friends. Ironically, the name of our boat is "Heaven on Earth". We have also lost a child and we certainly feel your pain. You are all so very blessed to have shared your lives with such a special person. May your memories with Peter warm your hearts during such a difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are extended to all who loved him.
