So sorry to hear about your great loss. Please in your spare time read Mark 5:41-42 there it shows how Jesus brought back to life a 12 year old child and gave the child back to the parents, they were beside themselves with great ecstasy the scripture says. So Jesus here did on a small scale what he will do in the near future. Yes, you may soon see Peter again doing what he loved and you enjoying him again. I hope this fact bring some comfort to you and your family in your time of need.

My thoughts and prayers to Peter's parents and his family. I did not know Peter personally, but I watched him grow-up over the years. He served for the funeral Mass for my husband just last Spetember. He was a very special child. I will miss seeing him.

Our club is so sorry to hear of your tragic loss of dear Peter. What a privilege it has been for our club to have had Peter as a member. He was certainly a "doer" and always enjoyed recreation time following the meetings. He certainly lived up to our motto "To Make The Best Better!" There will be void in our lives and in our club without him.

David, Christine and Family,
I have watched your family in church, Immaculate Conception. I always admired the way your family acted. Actually was amazed. I wished you could give my daughters tips on how to control sons. I just learned this morning of Peter's passing. What a shock. I lost my mother in October so I know what all you will be going through. I to lost a son a while back. Losing children is the hardest. It looks to me like God felt Peter could do more for the Pro-Life effort up there in Heaven. We have no doubt that Peter is taking care of business up there. He really surely be missed down here though. Especially that smile. Please know that I have already said several prayers for your suffering, and will continue to do so. Hold each other tight and know that as part of our Christian family, you are LOVED.

Dear David, Christine and all of you in your beautiful Catholic family,
our prayers are for you and for Peter in theese days. There is sadness and hope now. We look at Mary, Queen of the Holy Rosary, and we think of her sorrow when she saw Jesus on the Cross. we put all of you there ,close to Mary and Jesus, and we know because of our faith that we will rise with Christ and be all together, with Him, again, forever. We are like children now, who cry as soon as their parents go out of the room, because they think the parents will disappear forever. But we know that it is no true, the parents are still there, just behind the door, and they didn't abandone us. So now we cry, and we miss Peter, but we will be separated for a short time, since Jesus conquered death.
We were blessed to get to know you last year at the parish mission and at Collaborators of your joy. Know that we are with you in this time, with our affection and prayers.

Peter so many people will miss you, as you already know. You are like the sweetest sixth grader in the world and my wife always smiled and said, "That Peter Downey is sooooooo cute, I can't even believe how cute he is." Really, I mean she would tell me this every time we'd see you or just randomly like on Saturday's, for example. Anyway, a great saint once revealed that for the deceased in eternity, our time of separation is like one second... but, for the living it's a very long time. So, I guess that when we see you again you'll be like "hey, I just saw you and I'm glad you're here. . . now, let's get to It." With love and affection Peter, for you and for your wonderful family . . . pray for us.

Dear Christine, David & family ~
We are really struggling with Peter's loss, it doesn't seem possible. Right now, we thank God that you are people of faith. We thank God for the innocent, happy and loving children you brought to this earth. We thank God for the time we had with Peter and are grateful for the many times our boys played together. But oh my, do we mourn Peter's loss. We just assumed we had more time with him. We are so very sorry. Our hearts go out to your entire family.
We'll be here for you, whenever you need us, however you need us.
