Never to be Forgotten...

Butz’s wedding was last night – a beautiful ceremony, and a great party at the reception. I left last night with such a wonderful feeling- feeling so blessed to have met so many wonderful friends at UD – it seems whenever we get together not a moment has passed since we graduated. Pete was remembered and missed throughout this day of celebration.

Please be assured that Pete was thought about each and every moment. While singing “Livin on a Prayer” or jamming to “Midnight Train to Georgia,” Pete was there in all of our hearts. I pictured him smiling while watching Zach pretend that he was Gladys Knight, or laughing hysterically while Paul performed “Billie Jean.” He was definitely smiling down as Dan pondered about the roast beef lamps.

Even though Pete couldn’t physically be with us, please know that he is living in our hearts, always. We all have a little piece of Pete within us, and will hold on to those moments forever.

Celebration in Heaven today

Grandma Busam died peacefully in Hospice last night. We talked about her watching out for Pete's antics, but then, she knows him well enough to stay one step ahead of him!

I am certain that Pete would have been all torn up over his Grandmother's short illness and death journey, had he been here. I have to believe that God is good and that there is a plan for everything, including the magnificent celebration of a grandmother and first born grandchild reuniting.

Rest in peace my loved ones.
