Bringing Peter Over (A Dream)

About six months after his death
my late friend's widow had a dream:

Kevin is sitting out front in his car,
apparently waiting for someone...

Then, someone having gotten in,
the car drives off with two people inside.

The next morning she learns
that his favorite uncle Petey
has joined him
in the next world...
