We are in Israel and awoke this morning to the profoundly sad and tragic news of Peter´s passing. Words can´t describe the emptiness in our souls and sadness in our hearts to hear this terrible news. He lived life with such enthusiasm and together you created an amazing family which will always be his legacy. May God grant you Susan and the entire family comfort among the other mourners in Zion and Jerusalem and may Peter´s memory be for a blessing for countless generations. I could not find your direct email so posted here with the hope that you will see the message.

Dear Eizen family. Very saddened to hear of the loss of Peter. We went to school and grew up together. I have many memories of the time we knew each other. He could be quiet then but also he had a great sense of humor, loved to talk about sports and was really a great friend. I can imagine him being an extraordinary family man given his character as I knew him. Wishing you all strength and love at this time.
