Regards Rob and Annette ColmanOh Sue the news of Pete’s passing is still so hard to believe. He was a great man whose love for you and his family was so obvious. He would do anything for anyone – whether that be get a coffee or cook 500 pancakes on Shrove Tuesday because you asked him to! I will miss seeing his smiling face around school, but know he is smiling down on you and the kids every day. May your endless memories help ease your imaginable pain.
