I was Pete's girl, we worked at Trumpets ,Oklahoma City, ( now ) ,Oklahoma

Hey Audrey, I'm so sorry about Joe!!!! What happened??? I was trying to get ahold of Joe to tell him that Pete died, then I found this!!!! This is so sad to me, along with Pete, well I guess he will get to see Pete himself!!!! I moved to Oklahoma City, and married the greatest guy I've ever known!!!! We've been married 14 years now. He has his Doctorate in Physics, so he is really smart!!!! He works as an engineer, and he teaches College Physics 2!!!! I mean, who does that??? Right??? Hahahahaha!!!!! I also wanted to tell you that I have a brain tumor, they say it's been there since I was 16, it just grew very slowly, you see I had a wreck, a really bad wreck when I was 16, and I hit my head on the front and back windshields, so they say I got it then. It was giving me problems from the time I worked at the Stolen Grill and Trumpets. My next restaurant I worked at was Ophelias, and it took me down there!!!!! I fell in the hallway and woke up in a hospital, with them telling me I have a brain tumor. Anyway, you are in my prayers!!!! I can't believe Pete and Joe are both gone😒😒😒 I guess you just never know. May God be with you Audrey!!!!! I know how much he loved you, and you loved him!!!!πŸ˜‡πŸ™πŸ»πŸ˜‡πŸ™πŸ»πŸ˜‡πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»πŸ˜‡πŸ™πŸ»πŸ˜‡πŸ™πŸ»πŸ˜‡πŸ™πŸ»πŸ˜‡πŸ™πŸ»πŸ˜‡πŸ™πŸ»πŸ˜‡πŸ™πŸ»πŸ˜‡πŸ™πŸ»
