In loving memory of our beloved Pete Stivason whose birthday is July 16th.

Happy Birthday Honey, I wonder how you’ve aged. I look at the kids and how the grand kids are in college and high school and think how proud you would be at the adults they have become.

You helped mold Mike into quite the young man, with your hunting and all the safety tips, Emma, the spit fire you taught to slide down the banister is a beautiful young cheerleader. They have your guidance from above now along with wonderful parents.

When I’m weeding and mulching and working outside, I envision you right there with me. I find peace and solitude when I’m outside doing all the things we used to do together.

Growing old isn’t fun alone. You sit back and do a lot of remembering of how things used to be. When the little things we did for each other meant so much. You are thought of and loved every day not just today on your birthday. Life just isn’t the same without you
