I'm deeply sorry for your loss.

Life moves at the speed of gratitude. Your friend's legacy reminds me to cling to the precious time I have and to live that time more fully than before.

From stranger to stranger, I wish you peace in your grieving process and heartiness in your own time.

Omg... your words are incredibly moving and profound.

It’s clear that Peter was not an ordinary person, but a rare soul with a gentle spirit.

I’m so sorry for this…

May Peter rest in peace, and may you find strength and comfort.

May his memory live on in your heart always.

Allah yerhamo 🙏

Thank you so, so much for your words. I delayed responding last night because I wasn't even sure what to say to such a kind response! He was a rare soul with a gentle spirit as you say <3

Such a lovely Eulogy Adam. So very sad to hear about Peters passing, he was a wonderful person & I will always remember him with such fondness. I have such good memories of when we were at school/sixth form together & enjoyed many nights out with him & Amy. Sending love to you and all Peters family x

Beautiful words Adam. I was so saddened to hear of Peter’s passing. I haven’t seen him since school but remember his quirky sense of humour and sparkly personality fondly - I’m pleased to hear that he never lost that, even through his struggles. I now have a quirky & sparkly son of my own and have often thought about when we were at school and how people could be cruel to him. Sending love to you and his family as you navigate this huge loss.

Thank you Georgia - I remember Peter always spoke of you back in the day as a good, kind person. As a teacher I think I'm partly compelled to take bullying seriously because of how cruel people could be to Peter... I do things things have improved a lot in those regards and I truly hope your son has a happy time at school. Thank you for your condolences and for reading my eulogy :)
