Clearfield, UT Saturday, June 23, 2012 Aunt "Pete" was a so wonderful. I will really miss her. She and Uncle Elmer really were so much a part of my life growing up that I have so many fond memories. I had a thought yesterday morning that I must have picked up my love of reading from my mom and Aunt "Pete" as they always seemed to have a book in hand or near by. Trudy and Roger our prayers are with you and your families. Love you, Terri
