Karl “Pete” Rottman

In loving memory of Karl “Pete” Rottman who passed away six years ago today, January 22, 2007.

We think of you in silence,

We often speak your name.

We have so many memories and a portrait in a frame.

Our hearts still ache with saddness and many tears still flow,

For what it meant to lose you,

No one will ever know.

Our lives go on without you, but things are not the same.

It’s hard to hide the heartache when someone speaks your name.

The special years will not return, when we were all together,

But with all the love that’s in our hearts,

You’ll walk with us forever.
