Well, we will miss you. We all love you, Peter and your son anyhow, love you all aunt GLENDA.
Peter this is absolutely tragic. I cannot believe that you’re actually gone, someone I knew well and was so close to in high school, gone in the blink of an eye. I knew the last time we had talked was months if not a year ago before this happened and I can’t say that you were happy, but so many people cared about you. I know depression is a silent killer, and it takes the ones who shine the brightest. You were one of my best friends in highschool. When I first started and didn’t know anyone you were right there to show me the ropes. When my life was shitty at home you were there to let me cry on your shoulder. You never let me walk home alone, especially after dark. You were genuinely one of the nicest people I’ve ever met and such a gentleman to me all the time. I hope you’re resting easy bud, I really will miss you.
