In my work area, many, many
In my work area, many, many people have known Uncle Pete for years. Almost every time I meet these folks, happy stories are told about him. It is impossible to fill the void that now exists. He is one of the reasons that I say my name with pride and dignity. He will be missed by many, especially me. Love, Tom Barlow
Uncle Pete
Uncle Pete was a great man, I'll always remember all the camping trips he and Aunt Bonnie took us on with Mommom and Poppop. All the yardsales we'd hang out at and play with his CB talking to the truck drivers going passed his house! We had some great times at his house and the beach when we were younger! I loved him like my own grandfather! I know your happy where you are and Aunt bonnie will be taken care of till she see's you again. Tell Poppop and Mommy I said HI!

i wrote this for uncle Pete as a comfort to aunt Bonnie
I walk away, because it's time
Looking ahead, I glance behind
What I see you will too
For a part of me is left with you
This place I go is like none I've seen
It is warm and caring and oh so clean
I see those that have come before
I tell you that indeed there's more
I know your'e sad that I must go
Because we love each other very so
But I will never truly ever leave
Memories always in time of need
This place is great, you will see
So many folks have welcomed me
Please don't Worry for I am fine
Live your life full as I did mine
I walk away because it's time
I love you so as return in kind
Remember now and our times past
Know the future our love does last
It's not goodbye, that will not be
We are forever, you and me
I walk away, today's that's true
But I will never ever truly leave you
Sorry for your loss!
Those we love can never be but more than a thought away
for as long as as there is a memory.
My sincere sympathy, prayers and love are with you and your family.

Uncle Pete
Uncle Pete, you will be missed so much. I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed our talks and laughter whenever visiting. Rest In Peace and much love always!
Sympathy to each and every
Sympathy to each and every one of Pete's family. It was a gift to have known Pete. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
The Barlow family is in my
The Barlow family is in my and our churches prayers. It is hard to know what to say at times like this. I have seen times that a friend's embrace can communicate things that words could never express therefore my prayer is that you will feel a very compassionate and comforting embrace from our Lord Jesus, our Prince of Peace.
In Christ,
