Wonderful memories of you today Peter because you were the sort of individual who can never be forgotten...your love of life, your zest for living...you were always there for me when I needed you...and you always made me feel special when I was in your company...which was one of your many and most wonderful qualities...because you did that for everyone who was in your midst...that is why you made such an impression on so many.....
I still miss you my friend....

Peter...you are in my thoughts often, but as the time passes, the tears are slowly being replaced by all of the memories of the good times we had together. It has taken me so long, I suppose, because... although the good times were plentiful, the void of you no longer being a part of our lives is so vast...
I still miss you friend.

Time does not change some things. We miss you Peter as much today, as we did two years ago. I realized then, what I still believe today--that the world was a better place with you in it. I cherish the memories of our time together more with each passing year...
I miss you friend.

April 15, 2009
On this 2nd anniversary of Peter being in heaven..the days still go by and Peter's spirit and the memories are with us each and everyday. The girls and I have found a sense of peace in knowing that Peter is very safe. A little note of words and thoughts we believe in and live by:
LOVE LIVES ON..
There is a peace
that wise men can't explain...
that touches us like gently falling rain...
It faces grief and leads us toward the dawn...
It comforts us with strength to carry on...
There is a peace that helps our hearts to mend..
that whispers softly,
"LOVE WILL NEVER END"
Our love for Peter will never end!
Love Kathleen & the girls

Peter, I miss you so very much and your memory lives on. You're in my heart forever. Love You Bro! Patty

To you Peter...after another SummerFest has come and gone....
Mugsy and I were on the deck tonight, and our stories and memories included you, of course.
We talked about times at Patty's...Cooking dinners with you and Kathleen...summer days with Jan, while Danielle was growing up...
Dinners at Miro's Serbian Cafe...
And just plain hanging out with you--and losing track of time--oh the time!
While caught up in the moment!
Anyone who was ever fortunate enough to spend time with you...will understand what we mean by the "moment."
Our lives have been enriched because you were a part of this plan, and we we will continue to keep your memory and spirit alive--until we are together again.
Until that moment.
Take care, my friend.
Mike & Mugsy

Dear Janis & Danielle:
I thought that I would send word that I am thinking about you and all of Peter's family as the month of June winds down...for it was always this time of the year that we all got together over the years in order to make some SummerFest memories! Sometimes...during all of the fun that we were having in those days, we actually made it down to the SummerFest grounds!! Such zest for life made every moment with all of you truly a treasure. I miss you all, and cherish the memories more than words can express. I know we all miss Peter....

I am so sorry to hear of your lost and wish to extend my deepest sympathies and condolences. I hope you can find comfort in the words recorded at 2 Corinthians 1:3,4.

This week has been like an old slide show of pictures, memories, and stories of Z. He was laughter. He was love. He was alive to us all.
We shall miss him. We all grieve, but he will never be gone for us because we have our memories.

To the family and friends of Peter Zovic:
I only knew him for a while but I quickly learned how loving he was and how much he loved his children. He spoke of them whenever we talked and how much he wanted to be a good father.
At a time like this it is hard to understand such a loss. But if we keep Peter in our hearts and share that special part of him that we love, then we will keep him alive and share him with those that were not fortunate enough to have known him.
I thank God for my moments with him and was very happy he was such an important part of my son’s life. I was honored to have him call me “mom”.
Thanks for sharing. I pray God will hold you close and comfort you. Hold on to those very dear memories.

sorry for your loss. I met Peter on March 21, 2007 at a field trip we were both Shaprones for the 2nd grade field trip to the Museum. We had so much fun on the bus!!! That is exactly how my son Kim described who he was and what happened. That speaks a million tongues about his personality!!!!

We remember Peter so well from the time he became our neighbor when his oldest daughter, Danielle, was only two, the same age as our daughter. Over many years he kept a close and fatherly eye on his own girls and our own daughter too when she visited, and was always friendly to us. We will miss Peter and his outgoing personality. Our condolences to his wonderful family at this time of great loss.

I am a friend of Peter's sister Kathy. Peter was a "little brother" when we were in High School & college. It's never easy to lose a person from your life & Peter was so very loved & enjoyed by his family & friends...his loss was so early & leaves a huge void. I will keep you all in my prayers as you continue through this maze of loss. The many wonderful, loving & funny memories will help you through this tremendously painful time...it just hurts. God bless & keep your family close. Mary Zessin Darling

To all who had the privilege of knowing and loving Peter, my heart aches tremendously, as yours must, with the news of his passing.
The wonderful memories are too many to count. The loved shared is too great. The laughter that was Peter's still rings in my ears.
Peter, the choices made were always those with others in mind. And it showed by the breadth and depth of those who loved you.
And that smile. That smile. It will be remembered...but terribly missed.
Peter...you would be the FIRST to tell me, "Spin-Man...don't be down, send me out in style. Celebrate with a few kind words...if you can muster a few!!! And by all means, raise a "HOOT" in my memory while you do!"
For you, Peter...my friend...I will. But know that that while I do, it is also with the understanding, and recognition, that the World was a better place with you in it.
I will always love you,
Spinner

I would like to extend my sympathies to the entire Zovic family. I had the privelage of getting to know Peter better during my youth when he lived w/ my aunt Kathy and Uncle Mark. A very caring, loving individual. I also had the opportunity to work w/ him again a few years back as he tried to help me in my career path. Again the thoughts and caring were great. A guy who liked to have fun, and who loved his family so. I pray for you all and wish God has his hands in your continued lives. God bless you Peter Zovic
