MY REFLECTONS OF PETER IVERSON
DON DILL

I loved Peter, not just because he was a loving and devoted husband to one of my dearest friends, but for who he was as a person...He had a blind innocence to his nature. He did not see age, race, color or creed. He took people as they came to him...without judgement and with open arms. Peter had an innate hunger for knowledge, a love for life and respect for his fellowman. He had a hearty laugh that made you want to join in his party. He had a bright mind, a loving heart and a kind, gentle spirit. He was a good man...And his earthly presence will be sorely missed. I look forward to seeing him in heaven. Don't get me wrong, he was human. He had his faults, but right now I can't think of any...only fond memories. Rest in peace, my friend.

Diane, Beth and Paul: I am so sorry for your loss, my thoughts are with you. I have such great memories of visiting Peter and Diane in LA. Always welcoming me to their home and having so much fun. I will never forget those times and the great memories of Peter will live on. Love to you all and be strong.

Kerry Hayden

March 14, 2011

Diane, I think about you and Peter often, all the great times we shared in LA, NY and SF. Brother Iverson and I were very close and He will be in my heart forever. When Peter said "I am with you always," He meant it literally. He is not absent to anyone anymore, He will live in our hearts forever.
Much Love,
Kerry Hayden

Diane,

I am so glad that we were able to see Peter when he was last here in California. We have only warm memories of him. His name comes up time and time again (of course with smiles and laughs) and because of that he will never be forgotten. Kenny and I are sending you a big hug! We hope to see you again soon. We love you very much.

Beth, Paul & Diane,
I am so very sorry for your loss and the heavy hearts you have right now. I have a distant memory of visiting you and Peter up in L.A., Diane - with Beth and Kelley back in high school. It seems like another lifetime ago... but, I do remember we had a great time :) I hope the sorrow is replaced soon with smiles of sweet memories when you hear that song on the radio or find something that reminds you of him. Love to you all and you will see him again!

Peter, you are a one of a kind! People like you don’t come by every day. I could always count on you to brighten my day and bring me back to what is important. It is easy to get caught up in all of the tough things that life brings and you always reminded me to appreciate the simple pleasures. I have known you for most of my life and it is hard to think that you are on to bigger and better things. I feel left behind, but I know that you will always be there, and I find comfort in that too. You are a great friend and I will miss you forever!
Diane, I know that you will find the strength to get through this loss of your Petey and if you ever need help finding that strength, I hope that you know that we are all here to help you find it. After all, that’s what we do best ‘‘If we can’t find it, it’s not lost” :) You two were always a great laugh together. Weather you were bickering or joking around, you always were a picture of love! You two were made for each other, in a way that most people only dream of finding. We all miss you here in Cali and hope that this hurts less a little bit each day. We look forward to seeing you soon! Love ya!

Diane I know you are a mess and I cant say I understand because wont even try to put myself in your shoes. I know Death leaves a heartache no one in this world can heal, but remember love leaves a memory no one can steal. So hold on to what you have from him in your heart... You have so many good memories.. I know I do.. :) Love, Tina

Diane,
I was so shocked and saddened to hear about Peter. I always admired him and loved his stories.
I was so lucky to have had dinner with you the last time I was in Dayton and it reminded me how I missed you living in L.A....and both of your wicked sense of humor!
Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Godspeed Peter! The world will be sadder for losing you.

To my wife

February 26, 2011

To my dearest love, some things I'd like to say...but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do. And foremost on the list, to watch and care for you.
Don't be afraid to cry; it relieves the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
And when it's time for you to go from that body to be free, remember you're not going....you're coming here to me.

Diane,
My heart goes out to you and the rest of Peter’s family. I heard it said once that God put man on this earth because he loved a good story. Peter had lifetime full of great stories and certainly always had so many important ones to share. I will miss hearing them.

All my love,

Mike & Jan Smart

Peter, you are loved and missed so much it is hard to describe. We will always remember you as our "'hippie", peace signs, skateboards, your Rolling Stones flip flops, Rolling Stones Magazine and all of your stories. We will take care of Diane and Roxie, as they both love you more than you know. Our prayers are with you.
