Pete Lafen made this world a better place. I am a better person for having known him.

Dear Caroline,Katie, & Marsha,
I am so sad to hear about the death of Peter. I'll always have fond memories of Peter. We had some really great times playing soccer and he was always a great teammate. As a neighbor you couldn't ask for anything better ..... always eager to lend a hand or let you borrow whatever you needed. Our thoughts are with you.

Dear Caroline,
Pete's kindness, compassion, and love will continue to inspire us. I will treasure the memories forever with you. Caroline, Masha, Katy, Julien, Theodore, Tom and Deb & family - you are in my thoughts and prayers. I love you all. With all my heart, Donna

Thanks to our children, we had the chance to know Peter, we wish we had known him more.
We want to keep in our hearts Peter's caring smile, his kindness, his joy of living and his love for others.
Despite the thousands of miles that separate us, we will be always with you.

Dear Caroline, I'm so very sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family.

When I think of Peter, I think of his kind smile, and shy Masha next to him, wet but happy. Of course, this is at Daleview. One specific memory is the year Ken died, and I was at an Ivy swim meet at Princeton, feeling a bit lost, and Peter showed up with Katie. He held up a Daleview T-shirt and shouted support to Emily when her event was announced. What a light at a difficult time for her and for me. I am so sorry for your lost, Caroline, Katie, and Masha.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss--Pete was such a bright light, and I always enjoyed catching up on the girls' doings when he would visit Blair. My thoughts are with you at this sad time.
