To the entire Rudnicki family,
My memories of Peter from the Woods Academy days are so fond. I was personally experiencing a dark time in my life during those years, and can distinctly remember Peter always looking me square in the eyes and greeting me with the sweetest smile and friendly manner. He truly brightened my day, in a way that only the pure soul of a non-judgmental child could. He made a huge difference in my life, when I felt dark and alone. As a mother of an only son, I know each phase of our precious child's life is a memento that we carry, as a permanent engraving on our heart. No one expects to have a loved one taken before their time. Peter's destiny was a short one, but no less spectacular of a son, no fewer memories of him growing through childhood, and perhaps now, you will find comfort in recollecting his many achievements, his vigor, and his excitement as he experienced growing into a young man. I pray that you can separate your grief from these precious memories and find yourself cherishing and appreciating the difference he has made in your lives. Short lived, yes.....but so, so beautiful. We send our love, heartfelt appreciation for his meaningful part in our lives, and our hugs to you all. Linda Ridenour ([email protected])

I dont have any words that adequately express how sorry I am for Peter's passing. You two are experiencing a level of pain that most people can't imagine. Although no words will ease the loss you bear, just know your family is very close in thought and prayer raised by many who know and care for you both. Praying that God would bring your family comfort at this most difficult time.
