    I'm so sorry for you losing your husband. I have very fond memories of him from when I was growing up. He was always such a sweet Uncle! I hope it will be a consolation to you that God called him Home on Christmas Day and blessed him so that he didn't have a prolonged suffering before he died. I know he is up in Heaven, joyful to be with God and awaiting his beloved wife!! Love, his neice, Cathy( Ed and Vivian's oldest daughter)

    Dear Aunt Donna, We are so sorry to hear of the death of Uncle Pete. He was a wonderful uncle to Vivian and Ed's seven kids. We all enjoyed your visits to Texas. There was a lot of humor and laughter that I will always treasure, especially when my dad played food police not letting anyone eat lunch before noon. I jumped up and said, "Nonsense!" and proceeded to the kitchen, opened the 'frig and started bringing out lunch meats. You leaned in and said, "Thank you, Mary." You should've stayed at my house, where it was more fun! I loved your cinnamon rolls. You and Uncle Pete always brought a smile to my face. Love, Mary Peschong
