To the family of Mr. Long,
I just learned that Peter left us several days ago. I'm one of his former classmates from our graduating class of 2010 and while we weren't particularly close, I did know him personally and he always seemed like a nice person. I just wanted to say that you have my condolences and that I'm very sorry for your loss. Many of my friends that I keep in touch with are only just finding out as well and they are particularly saddened by this. I wish you all the best during these tough times and may Peter rest in peace.
Sincerely,
Bridie Spare
