I was privilaged to be one of the nurses who took care of Peter in his final days. He amazed all of us with his bravery and ability to find humor in even the worst situations. I was also very touched at the commitment he and Patti had with each other. I believe that they both taught me lessons that I will be able to use in both my professional and personal life. Thank you Peter, I look forward to meeting you again someday.

I met Peter several weeks ago and the visit I had with him really touched me. I am so sorry that I did not know him before his illness. He really touched me and my heart.
