The entire Garvin family is overwhelmed and humbled by the outpouring of love, support, and generosity of the many hundreds of people who came to give their condolences and offer respect to Pete. It all was really over the top! For those who came to calling hours, thank you for enduring the long line. We understand that through most of the evening there was a 2-hour wait. Wow. Thank you for waiting. We are so humbled. ... and the Mass....Wow. That's all I can say. Wow. A packed church, 20+ concelebrating priests, and a beautiful choir to usher Pete home. My heart is full.    
We can't thank you all enough... Fr. Jim Singler; Jeff Mills and choir; Eric Anthony and team; Fr. Jacob Bearer, the entire seminary faculty, staff, and seminarians; all the priests and religious; family; friends; co-workers; ....everyone.... Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. Words could never express our love and gratitude. What a beautiful showing and example of the Body of Christ! We love you all!!
Please continue to keep us in prayer, as we will you. We will be adjusting to a new normal without Pete...spouse, father, son, brother, friend, and grandpa. With your love, support, and prayers, we will be able to endure. God's got us in the palm of His hands. 
Love you bunches, 
The Garvin Family
