A year has gone by and I want to share with you that Peter will be remembered by many. Alex A. still brings up his name as he reaches out to other teens for Wishes & More. I just wanted to let you know that others think of you and he will never be forgotten. Warm regards and continued condolences,

I am so sorry for your loss. I just found out today when you sent the pictures and it is quite emoitional for me so I can only just image what you are going through. You are all very special people, especially Jenny who was there for a very difficult time in my life while I was in nursing school. I would like to be there for you as you were ther for me. You are a saint and my prayers and thoughts are with you all. Michelle

I only knew Peter for a brief time, I was told his story in may of '03 and I reached out to him to give him hope to fight, to tell him kids his age were praying for him. I was very saddened to hear of Peter's passing, but I know that the Lord took Peter when it was his time, Peter won the fight and when it was over he went home to his Heavenly Father. I am praying for the Meslow's, Jesus is holding them in His hand right now.

Dear Peter,
It has been nearly nine years since I last saw you and you were always thought of over those years. I was right when I would tell myself that you would grow to be one of Gods beautiful creations. My heart was very saddened to find out about your early entrance to Gods home. We cannot be selfish and wonder why? We can only thank our heavenly father for the time we had with you.
It was my blessing to know you and your family threw Extended Day. I can still remember playing dodge ball with you and the rest. I also remember how you and Scott would always protect each other. You were always polite and always generous to others. Peter, you will always be in my heart until the day we meet again. We are all only a breath away. LOVE YOU ALWAYS!

Doug, Jenny and Scott:
I am reminded of the times I had the pleasure of staying with and caring for both Peter and Scott while both of you,Doug and Jenny, were away. They were truly wonderful times and I feel blessed that I was able to share a small part of my life with yours. I am so sorry for your loss. I hope that the prayers of those who care about you will help you to survive these next months. I know that your wonderful memories of Peter will fill your hearts with joy. May God bless and keep you all.

We were so very sorry to hear of the loss of your son and grandson. Bob and I are quite involved in the Make-A-Wish Foundation and we know what a help they are to the whole family. We are so glad Peter was able to experience his wish.

Jenny -- we were at the Family church service on Saturday PM and heard the news of Peter's death.
I am struggling to hold back the emotions as I write this note.
I don't know what to say. This is such a loss of such a Champion. Yes, we should be strong, however, I'm just sad now!!
I need to see you to give YOU a hug.
I'll give you a call.

We wish we could lift this time from your shoulders and make it disappear like a dream. Thogh it's been a long time since we last saw each other, you are always in our thoughts, and now even more, in our prayers. All of us are cheated by this, you, of course, the most, and we are the poorer for never having met your Peter. Perhaps this is a circumstance that we should remedy soon. Know that we are thinking of you, out in the neverland of old friends. We wish our reunion of sorts was for a happier occasion. Take care of yourselves, relesh the times you have. All our love always.

Dear Doug, Jenny, and Scott,
We were heartbroken to hear about Peter. He and your family are an inspiration to us. My kids and their friends have been wearing the Livestrong bracelts just knowing they were a support for cancer, but now every time they look at their braclet they remember Peter. You and all of the Meslow family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Jenny - It seems such a short time ago that I was up on 5B with you and Peter last summer; he was such a wonderful kid and the bond you shared will never be truly broken. Thinking of you all with such a heavy heart today... I'm sure my thoughts are shared by all of the other residents that had the great honor to have known Peter during his journey.... Peace, Chris

I did not know Pete personally, but I did go to church with your family and often heard of how he was doing. I am so very sorry to hear of his passing. He was such a great person and so positive. I admire his strength and courage throughout his battle. He was such a special person and I know many people were touched by him. Your family will always be in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless

You have been in my thoughts and prayers often, and will remain there.

To the Meslow Family,
I had the privelage of knowing Pete for the past four years and I am comletely amazed at what he has gone through and his strength. I was forever touched by him when he first came back to school senior year and he told me he was just happy to be at school, where he felt normal. I never knew how much I took for granted before he said those words to me. I was lucky enough to do Relay for Life in his honor and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life and I am very blessed to have known him. I know you already know how many lives he's touched and how inspirational he was by all the things people have written. But I just wanted to say it again. God rest his soul and may God be with you during this difficult time.
"God's finger touched him, and he slept."

My heart is heavy for the loss of your beautiful son, brother, grandson and friend. I have never had the pleasure of meeting Pete or his family; however, my son, Matt was very fortunate to have met him through WBL football and became friends with Pete. Matt told me of Pete's passing from cancer. Matt's brother was diagnosed with Stage 4 multi-cellular Hodgkins 12 years ago. We understand the personal and physical impact cancer has on a family. We are very blessed that our son (& brother) is still with us. Hold memories of Pete close in your head and heart and celebrate his being. From all the entries in the guest book, he was loved and will be missed by many! God bless.

Our deepest sympathy goes to your entire family in the loss of dear Peter. Cling to your memories of this beautiful young man. He was in our thoughts and prayers often. We are related to Kim Meslow (wife of Jeff). May God keep you in his tender care as you try and deal with his passing into heaven.

The streets of Heaven are filled with heroes who have courageously fought cancer. Peter was a leader for all who heard his story. He inspired, encouraged, and influenced those he knew, as well as many who had never met him, and yet were similarly influenced and inspired by his courageous fight and strength of character. Peter was a leader and example to many in his all too short time. The streets of Heaven have gained an Angel. One who will lead, inspire and encourage for all time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Meslow family... immediate, as well as the extended network of family Peter had as evidenced by the response to his passing. May God be with you all in this difficult time.

Words cannot express the sorrow I feel for your loss, Doug -- God's great gain. As you know my daughter had to fight a cancer battle herself and just what she had to endure made me so proud of her. Your son, Pete, was obviously quite the fighter and I'm sure his support was stupendous. What he endured is so amazing. Pete is touching many, many lives, and I'm sure he will continue to do so for a very long time. Your family and Pete are in my thoughts and prayers.

We did not have the pleasure of knowing Peter, we have kept up with him through Dave, here in Tallahassee. His Uncle Dave told us many wonderful stories about Peter, so we feel a though we knew him. We pray that all of your family will get through this terrible ordeal. As one who lost a child also, I can tell you first hand that you will think of Peter everyday. God bless you all.

I was so very sorry to hear about Pete. I can't even imagine what it is like to lose a child. I never had the opportunity to meet Pete, but I'm sure he was a stand up guy like his Dad! May God, family and friends be with you always and through these tough times.

Remembering Peter & Remembering You!
We thought of Peter today, but that is nothing new. We thought of Peter yesterday, and will tomorrow too.
And we also think of you as well, even though you make no outward show. For what it means to lose a child, we will never truly know.
Remembering Peter will be easy, he was such a special joy each day. But we will remember your heartache as well, which we know will never go away.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I am very sorry to hear about your loss. Although he is a year younger than me, Pete had attended the same schools as me since elementary. Pete was a great kid and so spirited and full of life. I'm sure he brought smiles to many faces other than mine when he always maintained such a kind and warm attitude about everything. Your family is in my prayers and many others as well.

Dear Doug, Jenny and Scott - God bless you all. So many of us were completely shocked and our hearts ache beyond words. This world had to let go of one of its finest, for it had no hold on him. Peter is a man of God! Please know that the moment he closed his eyes in death, Peter opened them into the eyes of Jesus! You're all in my prayers. I will never forget your beautiful, respectful, wonderful young man. And your grace and strength will forever serve as a constant reminder to me of God's love.

Reach up to the heavens with arms open wide
Take hold of its beauty, breathe it inside
Take in its majesty, memorize its grand views
Engulf its bright lights and magnificent hues
Look above the aged trees that touch the sky
And listen to the whispers of the mourning cry
Listen through the whirring breezes and you can hear the names
Sobbing with great heartache, crying out with such pains
Names of all loved ones with silent prayers unsaid
Echoing with profoundness inside my head
And now the sun burns in my ears your sweet voice
Saying don't thirst for what once was, this is the Lord's choice
Now I know there's beauty below, but up here there's no compare
There's no pain, no heartache, there's no despair
You can lay your head upon the angel's knee
And know no pain, just filled with such glee
I know you miss me, I miss you too
But I'm sending an angel to watch over you
The angel will let you know I'm always near
To ease your heartache and wipe your tears
And the next time you reach up to the heavens above
You'll feel the kiss of all my love
So please don't let the grief consume your soul
And remember through God, you too can be whole
And when you think you can no longer stand
I'm up here in heaven with God, waiting to take hold of your hand
So listen beyond the whispers of the mourning and you'll see
I'm with the Lord our God
I'm finally free.
I am sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is to see a love one suffer through cancer. (Former secretary at Jensen, Bell, Converse & Erickson)
