REMEMBERING PETE DUEL
Thank you to everyone who leaves such poignant and heartfelt expressions in The Memorial Book—and for all your kind words about this site. Your kinship is extremely appreciated. —Laura
Please post your thoughts below. The previous Memorial Book was receiving too much spam, so I had to close it and start this page instead. The previous memorial page also had hundreds of remembrances. I hope to someday transfer them here.
There may be a delay between when you leave your thoughts below and when your post appears, but rest assured, the post will eventually be published. Please keep in mind that many questions still remain about Peter’s state of mind in those final days of his life. One recent question is how much of a role the anti-seizure drug, Dilantin, played on his thoughts. Perhaps Pete was a victim of a pharmaceutical drug and not so much of self-inflicted depression. Also note that Geoffrey Deuel sometimes visited this page. Thank you.
If God could grant us just one wish
We’d go and steal the gun
That took your life away from us
New Year’s 71
Even if we had you just for one more year
You may have got the help you need
To take away your fear
And chase away those demons
That were locked inside your head
Even learn to love yourself
Once again instead
You could have had a child
A girl or a little boy
To give your life a purpose
And fill it all with joy
Now you’d be much older
And more wiser in your ways
Playing with great grandkids
Enjoying sunny days
Spending time with family
Who would feel your loving touch
Caring for your animals
Who love you oh so much
But we don’t have a Genie lamp to make our wish come true
Only so much love inside
Every day for you!
Love you eternally beautiful man xxx
Peter was probably my first ever crush.
