Though my memories of you are brief from when we were little but you fitted right into our crazy family and always made us girls smile. Thank you for looking after the woman I can only aspire to be like one day and making her smile giving her love and happiness. Rest in peace uncle Pete 🩷

Dear Pete, They Say God Only Takes The Best, And You Were Truly One Of The Finest. May You Rest In Peace, And Keep Auntie Ang Close As We Promise To Do The Same. God Bless You—It Was Truly A Pleasure To Know You. With All Our Love, Jon, Kelly, And Family.

'Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone'
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
