You were in my thoughts and prayers yesterday, on what would have been Pete's 36th birhtday. I can still picture that beautiful, inquisitive, little boy with big blue eyes and white blond hair, thumb firmly planted in his mouth. From everything everyone wrote about Peter, he was much loved and there will be a hole left in many hearts. God Bless you today and in the coming weeks.

Dear Peter, Linda & Family,
In Ecclesiastes:3 says “there is a time to be born and a time to die.” The Lord really must have needed Peter for a very special reason to have taken him so young. If Peter was anything like you, Doc, he must have been one heck of a son, brother and friend. Hold on to the wonderful memories until you met him again. God be with you and your family. My heart felt condolences and prayers to all who loved Peter.

Dear Peter, Linda and Karen,
It was with profound sorrow and deep sadness that we learned of Pete's untimely death out here in Arizona. He was an outstanding young man and as you know, one of our son Ben's best friends. In remembering Pete I recall the great times we all had together cheering on our sons' (and brother's) hockey team. They have brought us all great joy. We are truly sorry for your loss. God Bless You.

Love and prayers to the VanGiesen family. Pete was known and loved by so many; he was truly a kind soul, generous, smart, funny. I met him at his best, on the river. He is gone much too soon from this world; my heart goes out to his family and friends.
