Prayers for you and your family. It was my pleasure to meet the man that made your heart sing and make you dance Margie. In the brief time, I spoke with Pete I could tell how much he loved his family. May the Lord give you peace and comfort during this difficult time!

May the tender mercy that God has always shown be with you now so you will know that you are not alone, And may the prayers of others help in some small way to bring you strength and comfort during this time. Eddie and Faye Ballard

My heart is breaking for you. Liinster was one of my sweet students at JWS along with his beautiful children. Words cannot express the pain that I have in my heart right now. May God hold you tight as you say goodbye to such a wonderful young man. Love Ms. Schiller.

My heart is breaking for you. Liinster was one of my sweet students at JWS along with his beautiful children. Words cannot express the pain that I have in my heart right now. May God hold you tight as you say goodbye to such a wonderful young man.

Linster was always a kind and gentle person. I have many fond memories of him going back to the fifth grade at James W. Smith Elementary School in 1988. Our paths did not cross often, but it was always good to see him and exchange a warm greeting. My heart is heavy this evening after reading of his death. The graduating class of 1996 from West Craven High School was very close and we have now lost another beloved classmate from our ranks. Heaven is a little bit brighter because he's there and Linster is rejoicing, as he has now seen our savior face to face. I pray that God gives the family His peace that surpasses all understanding. Farewell, Linster We'll miss you, but we'll never forget you. Dr. Ervin Patrick

Nikkie, Please know that my thoughts and sincere prayers are that God will give you the strength needed to get through this period in your life. Seems like just a few days ago, I was talking to "Pete" across the road from my house. He was always a kind young man. (Margaret Williams Hassell)

Lil Pete.. I'm truly gonna miss passing you on the road on our way to one of the mills and chatting with you from time to time.. To the family, I pray that God comfort you and strengthen you during this time...

AMP....
