Dear Ellen,
My sincere condolences to you, Mike, Matt and their families.
I have fond memories of us being neighbors on Westbourne getting together with our dogs and enjoying the good life.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Petche family. Growing up with their son Mike, I spent many afternoons running around his house. Whenever I came over, Mr. Petche demanded a handshake that seemed to last forever and nearly broke every bone in my hand. He would just stare at you with a sly smile as if to say, I was your age once and I know the trouble that boys your age get in and you’re not going to do that today, right! It didn’t help much cuz we got in trouble a lot but man we respected his dad! What an awesome guy!

Dear Ellen –
So sorry to learn of Bob’s passing. To read in the obituary he married his Shaw High school sweetheart was quite a tribute. You two were always a wonderful pair.
May the memories you made together help you through this difficult time.
