Peter J. Thornton

My deepest condolences on the passing of your dear Peter. We met many years ago when I was a young J1 university student working in the U.S. one Summer. I will remember him in my prayers at Mass thus Sunday and light a candle for him and for family loved ones he has sadly left behind. Your find cousin in Ireland. Mairead

I went to high school and college with Peter. We last exchanged emails over a year ago and I am shocked to discover that he is gone. So many memories. Goodbye, my friend. And as I wrote in my last email to you, love from across the years.

To Peter's loved ones, I want to express my sorrow for your loss. As fellow students at U of I and for many years after, Peter blessed me with his friendship. What a rare and precious soul he is. Although hearing he has left us fills me with sadness, every time I think of him, I can't help smiling.

My sincerest condolences to the Thornton family. I came to regard Peter as one of my favorite patients and it was my pleasure to care for him these past few years. Peter lived life to the fullest and chose to die on his own terms. Brittni, Dr Dutra and myself are heartbroken to learn the news of his passing. His memory will live on in his lifes work.
