Lenny, Nancy, and Sasha..its been a long time but i can still hear Peters' laugh. He was a great kid with such a personality it would make you smile. Our families were very close at one time and those are the memories I will cherish. I am so sorry for your loss and I hope Peter has found peace. I hope your entire family in time will find peace also. Words cannot express how saddened I am by this tragedy. I wish our families had stayed close. Keep him in your heart, for that he will never leave. his voice in your ears and your memories will never be forgotten.
All my love and prayers are with you all,
