	On Saturday July 15 in Chicago, Linda Fraschalla walked down the aisle and was married to Peter Saraceno. As they led the wedding party from the church the pace was a little slow, because Pete had to use a walker. Actually the marriage itself was about two years late. Linda and Peter planned to wed in 1976 right after he was released from the Marines then Pete and a buddy crashed an automobile. Pete was critically injured and pronounced dead on arrival at Westlake Hospital, but a doctor felt for a pulse one last time and found a very faint one. Pete was alive, but in a coma. After 12 days in a respirator and with five other life support machines attached to him. The doctors told his mother to pull the plug. She replied that if God had wanted him, he would have taken him in the accident. He would remain in the coma for three and a half months. At three months, he contracted double pneumonia and was given only a few hours to live.		On Saturday July 15 in Chicago, Linda Fraschalla walked down the aisle and was married to Peter Saraceno.
