To The Davis Family,
(My Family) I was so sadden when I found out Pete passed away. O Lord,
Only you know how hard life has been for us.
Only you have seen each moment of our day and night.
Only you feel our pain and understand our discomfort.
Only you are beside us through our grief and sorrow.
Only you have been within each moment to comfort us.
O Lord, break through the loneliness of our suffering.
You have encountered sorrow and laid a glorious path
Of hope, healing and the promise of heaven in our heart. Pete, I am really going to miss you. Sleep on Pete take your rest.
