Peter, I love you like a brother - Met you at Father martin's and we clicked instantly... I will never forget the time we spent together - Never became so close to a person in such a short time, we were and always will be kindred spirits - and brothers. My family took you into our home for 3 months and waking up day by day with you to joke around with and just hang with kept me away from alot of personal demons ... I hope i helped you also... Although we messed up in the end, I would do it all over again just to have some more time w/ you bro. 6 Months and i feel like i knew you for 15 years... We became best friends in such a short amount of time.. i know you knew you were my best buddy i would've done anything for you bro, and i know you woulda done the same for me, you were such a loyal friend and a rare genious of a human being. Im miss 'n you like crazy boy, waiting to hear "Hey hilte! Wake up man lets go EAT Im starvinggggg! " ... "wish you were here..." - Pink floyd (peters fav. band) - Brandon Hilte
