I remember the days way back in Jr. High when I used to spend the night with Norma. What times we had. Pete was always happy and watched over us so we wouldn't get in trouble. I treasure the memories. God Bless you, Sherri Christian Lawler

Condolences to the family of my +parents' “Compa Pete.” Pete (Arabella) were always such a “joy and fun” for my parents and our home; as, they always looked forward to the “next event” with a dance (even if they could no longer dance, as they did when they were young, they all sure could sit and enjoy the music and company). Pete and Arabella, always had a very “complimentary marriage” with love and kindness to all (just caring people…always). Pete's (Arabella's) kindness was always “treasured and appreciated.”
