I didn't know Peter well but he was kind to me when I was little. What an unhappy and untimely loss. As a kid, Peter taught me my first words in Spanish and I use them now, sadly: Adios amigo.

Dear The Kontas Family,

This brings great sadness to me for I have known you for 35 years. I've never been one for lack of words but at this time of sadness and loss I find myself lost. Speechless - which doesn't come natural to me. There are no words to describe how I feel so I will just get to the point - I love you! xoxoxo
With Deepest Sympathy your Friend,
Sheila

I still see Petey on the little red bike going down the cellar stairs on it because his dad said he could go down the stairs, BUT forgot to tell him, not on the bike.
In the past 7 months my goal was to make you smile Peter, I hope I did, we both had our battles to get thru, and we did.
Thank you for helping me, I hope I helped you.

We did not know Pete very well and that is our loss. We will live with that pain, but my family can agree 100% to his being outgoing and caring. He was always inviting and smiling and down to our children, he will be missed. Holly, be strong and remember the neighborhood that Pete took care of and embraced is here for you
