My cousin's husband passed away this week after battling a mysterious neurological disorder for 2 1/2 years. Pete was absolutely THE perfect man for Melissa, I knew that the first time I met him. Same outgoing personality, same crazy sense of humor...he loved the Smurfs and she loves Snoopy.....Heck, they even look alike! Melissa is the perfect woman for Pete as well, she has been the bravest thing through his illness and never stopped fighting for him. I am amazed by her strength and by her love. Pete loved life, people, and most of all, Melissa, who he called Sweetie. Melissa is now an expert on Braves baseball due to Pete! He had the ability to make you feel like you were his favorite person in the world and he always was glad to see you. He loved my dog Rocky and Rocky loved him. They had a really special bond, especially over the last year. I believe animals have a special sense about people and I just think he sensed something sweet in Pete. He would sit by his side or on his lap as long as Pete wanted him to. I have had a lot of good times with Pete that I will never forget. From taking him shopping this past summer at Old Tyme Pottery, to eating sushi and spicy Thai food together, to talking sports (GO HEELS) and hanging with him at the pool. We are really going to miss you Pete.

That was great Morgan. You did a good job. I am anxious to hear about today. I am sure it was lovely. We all (mom, Travis, Miss Kim, Grandma Juel...) have been thinking about Melissa and your family. Love you! La
Beautifully written Morgan!
Give Rocky a kiss from me. :)
Great post, Morg! They really were perfect together.
This is Perfect. (And that's the name of the painting Alexa is doing of Pete with the yellow flowers!)
Thank you so much for the slideshow and being a good friend to Pete. You guys always had so much fun together-we had a wonderful summer and a lot of good times. I remmeber you calling me before I went on one of my first dates with PEte because you just KNEW. :).
Please remind me to tell you the Boston Terrier connection with his Aunt Susan-too much to type out right now. It's really neat!!!
Love, Melissa :)
