thinking of you old friend.. may you continue to RIP. you are loved and missed.. xo

Hello, Peter, I can't believe it has been 8 years since you left us. We now live in Illinois closer to you now. Jeff is sick with pancreatic cancer. It has been really hard to cope with. We live with Tony and his wife because of Jeffs sickness they did not want us alone so far away with no one to help us. Every day it gets hard knowing people keep leaving. Grandma passed away, then uncle Frank and your aunt Linda. We miss you so much. We are all getting older and everyone has their own illinesses to deal with. I think of you all the time and miss you so much. My firstborn I still can't believe you are no longer here. I love you so much one day we will all be together again until then wait for me. Sending you a big hug and butterfly kisses.❤️

Happy Birthday Pete

Happy Birthday in Heaven Peter today you would have been 38 years young . You will forever be 34 you left us way to soon my life has forever changed. The loss of a child is so excruciating the pain is unbearable and the loss so profound . I remember when I gave birth to you , You were my first born it was such a joyous moment to finally see your little face I was and am very proud to be your Mom. I have so many memories of you Peter through your life that I will always treasure . In your adolescents we had good times and some not so good but I would not even trade those bad moments for anything in the world. Those were growing pains trying to figure out your place in this world. I would give anything if I could still have you here with me. In your adult years you had a lot going for you a wife a great Job you were still trying to get your bachelors degree and then you hurt your back and from that point on your life changed you endured 3 back surgeries and your life your dreams your spirit went down hill. I wish I could have taken all your pain for you. Today I celebrate you , you may not be here physically but you will always me in my heart and in my mind today all I have are sweet memories of your short 34 years on this earth. Your baby girl thinks of you often and she cries she tells me she misses her daddy. 3 weeks ago she told me she wished she could hear your voice again. So I looked for a video were you where talking so she could hear your voice she looked and you talking and she just began to cry. It has been very hard on us Peter your passing has affected us deeply. I love you always and forever Peter and I think of you always with a heavy heart. I wish we could turn back the clock to our last conversation we had before you passed away I wish I could of hugged you one last time, I know your in a better place you are free no more pain , no more battles you are whole and happy and free with the angels in heaven God knew your struggle so he took you home. Missing and loving you till the day comes when I part and we reunite until them I send you butterfly kisses and bear hugs all the way to heaven all my love always . Love Mom

Hi, Peter here I am missing you every minute of everyday it is so hard to navigate life with a missing part of my life that made me complete. I do thank God for the 34 years we had together in this world. I do wish it would have been longer way long. Your brother got me to join a group it is called compassionate Friends it is for families who grieve their loved ones. I also joined a group on Facebook from Cf for loss to overdose due to substance. Every day you see the faces of all these beautiful people who lost their lives to this disease. It is heartbreaking to reas the stories behind each face. I have been to two meetings so far and though it hurts it has also helped a little. Next month should have been your 38 birthday but you will forever be 34. I wish I could have you back. I wish I could have convinced you to go back to the center that night that you lost your life. I begged you to go back many times. My biggest regret is that you hung up on me before I got the chance to let you know how much you are love with out condition. You were my firstborn child you made me a mom for the first time. I remember the day that you were born it is so fresh in my mind the pain each push and then you were in my arms . That joy that explosive love consumed me you were my first love. Watching you grow was a joyous and blessed time. Your teenage years were a little rough we had ups and downs. Many regrets but I would not trade any of those years for anything. Then you became a man just like that time flew. You found the love of your life you married, you complete your Associates degree and you had your first born .You had a great job your plans were to get your Bachelors degree in clinical psychology but that dream faded after you hurt your back working out. Then the addiction began and destroyed your life and ended your life. And I grieve you every single day. And I don’t ever want to not think about you because I want your memory to live on always. I love you. This Sunday is meeting day my heart pounds just thinking about it. The fear of speaking about you not being present still to this day affect me so deeply. I miss and love you always and forever till my last breath every time I see the butterflies come and fly in front or the back of the house It reminds me of that time you were younger you said you wish you could fly like the birds with no care in the world and just be free. I wish I could hold you tight and I wish this was just a horrible nightmare and that I would wake up and see your face and listen to you talk and listen to your jokes and your pranks . I miss being able to call you just because and I miss just hugging you. I just miss you Peter and it is so hard.
Love Mom ❤️❤️❤️ Gone but you will never be forgotten Missing you my son.

Hi , Peter I so miss you it has been a minute since I last talk to you. I meant to get on here and wish you another wonderful fathers day in Heaven but things get in the way and I loss track. I do hope you had a fabulous fathers day in heaven this year. Isabella is growing so quick before my eyes she is smart and Whitty and so much fun it is like taking to a miniature grown up young lady at times she is wise kind caring and compassionate with a lot of you stubbornness. She is such a joy you would be so proud . Anthony is doing good got his Associates degree he is keeping things together I am so proud of how far he has come you would have love your sister in Law she is wonderful. Hopefully soon we will get some news of a new addition to the family I hope and pray. My days are not as I would like them to be the ache in my heart is always there and I cry a lot. Tony finally convinced me to go to a grief group this passed Sunday cause he is deeply worried about me so I went poured out my heart and was crying profusely as I was talking about you. I don't know if this will ever get easier sometimes is if I am slowly dying inside a little bit everyday. Just know Peter that I love you today and loved you since the day that you were born and nothing will never change because you will always live in my heart forever. I have sweet memories and some not so sweet but I treasure them all because I treasured you. So these are my words for today. Tomorrow Isabella starts the 2nd grade can you believe that my time is just flying by. I will always watch over her for you and always keep your memory alive. Miss and love you bunches Love Mom

Oh Peter it has been three years and almost two months since you left us . I miss you so much. I think about you every single day. I wish you could come to me in my dreams and have a chat with me so I can tell you so many things that have happened since you left. So that I can tell you about your beautiful daughter she has so much of you in her. She is funny beautiful and stubborn and very smart. I get her on the weekends thank you for the precious gift of making me a grandmother. I love and miss you dearly come visit me in my dreams.. love Mom

Peter my loving son my first born oh how I miss you yesterday was the day that you left me and your loss left a hole in my heart that can never be filled. I remember when I first found out that I was pregnant with you I was over the moon. You were my first love the first time I saw your little to face you lit up my world my first born my first love I never knew how much joy being a mother would be till I held you in my arms the first steps your first world it was such a joy watch you grow and how much you thrust for knowledge you were always asking question always curious about everything. You were so smart and funny and so full of life. You had so much to live for and yet I still to this day don't fully understand where things went terribly wrong for you to have lost your life at the young age of just 34 years old. You had your baby girl Isabella she needed you she is lost with out you. She is funny and smart like you she has your character your smile and your curious ways . Sometimes when I pick her up from school she will say Mima I miss my daddy so much and she cries. She see's other children with their daddies and she no longer has her daddy with her. I know your life was not always easy you battle with yourself as an adult. But my love for you no matter what was always there with out condition no matter the things you did or said we butted heads a lot but only because I loved you and wanted the best for you and your brother you two were and are my whole world and now half of my world has been in a world wind since the day you passed away. I cry and think of you every single day not one day goes by that your not in my thoughts and that I don't shed a tear. I love you my son always and for ever until my last dying breathe I will treasure the memories of you and treasure them. Rest easy my son Love Mom

My precious Son on your birthday I felt your lost so much. Maria text me early we all miss you so much you left us all way to soon. On Sunday you had your 37th Birthday, Happy heavenly Birthday in Heaven I hope you had a great celebration with all our loved ones that have passed and with Jesus and the angels. Isabella made you cupcakes we sang happy birthday together and sent up lanterns to heaven to you to let you know that you will never be forgotten ever. Isabella talks about you often she ask questions about you she stares at your photo and tells me her daddy was handsome and that she misses him so much. Peter you would be so proud of your little girl she is in the first grade now doing great. She has some times a little sassy attitude but she has such a big heart and so much love in that little heart of hers. She is such a joy and having her in my life brings me so much joy. I talk to you all the time I hope you can hear me sometimes I think you do because I see little signs and I am talking to you I love you Peter and you are so missed and my heart is broken and it does not seem real to me not even after it being almost three years since your passing away. The whole you left in my heart can not ever be filled. We did not always have good days but the days that we had that where good those days I treasure the most our outings just having breakfast or going to the zoo to take pictures or going to a baseball game or having thanksgiving and christmas together those days I always hold dear to my heart and even on the bad days even when we did not agree on this and our stubborn sides got the best of us my love for you never waivered because you were a part of me an extension of me  even when we did not agree on things and got angry at each other and did not talk that hurt me because I love you but we needed a time out. But we always came back together because the bonds between mother and child is stronger then any disagreement. You where my first born you made me a mom and it was my privilege to be your Mom in good times and in bad times I will treasure you till my last breathe you live tucked in my heart always Love you so much , Love Mom

Happy birthday Peter. Still very hard to believe you are gone. You are missed everyday. I love and miss you very much. Eat lots of cake in heaven.

It was a year that you left us and the pain and heartache is the same. I miss you my son . I dreamt with you the Wednesday before the 14 of Jan 2017 you were just 3 years old in my dream. We were in these fields
that I have never seen before we ran and played with Lucky you smiled at me and we laughed but you never said a word then you vanished and I began to desperately look for you but I could not find you , you just vanished. It was good to see that smile and to hear you laugh But I wish you were here with us and watching your beautiful Bella grow ,she is so smart you know she has a lot of you in her. She is a good negotiator like you. She cracks me up a lot sometimes. She is to smart for her own good you would be so proud of her. She talks about you often and tells me Mima I miss my daddy he use to make me laugh. I love you always and forever you remain in my heart and in my thoughts  always. Love you my Son Peter Garrido <3

Those we love don't go away. They walk beside us everyday, unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed and never forgotten. I love you Peter. I want you here with us. Not the place everyone says is a better place. I may be a little selfish in that aspect. Thank you for being my brother the short time I had you in my life. I'm missing you so much today.

I remember skyping and messaging back and forth sending you photos of Bella making Christmas cookies sending you pictures of Bella and santa town trying to keep you in sprit with the joy of your baby girl I remember you saying Mom thanks for all that you do and for sharing all these moments with me. A month later you left us with broken hearts I wish I had you back here with us everyday a piece of my heart breaks I don't know what tomorrow will bring all I know is that everyday I miss you and it hurts like hell. I love you and miss you my Son love Mom

I was so overwhelmed and happy at the same time everyone was here but you and as we went around to give thanks as I looked around the one face that was missing was yours and as I began to give thanks my tears would not stop Bella ran to me and gave me a big hug Maria was also crying we will never forget you.

Peter 10/28/1981   01/14/2016
 Happy 35 birthday my love

Happy Birthday in Heaven
I wish you were here today
even for just a little while
so I could say Happy Birthday "son"
and see your beautiful smile.
 
The only gifts today will be
the gifts you left behind;
The laughter, joy and happiness...
precious memories...the best kind.
 
Today I'll do my very best
to try and find a happy place...
struggling to hide my heavy heart
and the tears on my face.
 
I'll sit quietly and look at your picture
thinking of you with love;
hoping you're doing ok
in Heaven up above.
 
May the angels hold you close and
sing you a happy song...
and I'll be sending wishes to you
today and all year long.

I love you Peter when you left you took a piece of my heart with you.
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you There are times I reach out for my phone then remember that you are no longer here. I miss you and this pain in my heart is just as heavy as the day I got the news that God took you to Heaven. Your Birthday is in a few days and it is really hard. I love you

I had the pleasure of working with Peter at Franklin Templeton oh so long ago, so you can imagine reminiscing with co-workers about years past led us to Google some names. Finding this memorial has come as quite a shock and brings great sadness to see that someone so young has been taken from his loved ones. 

Peter was a kind soul and a joy to work with. I am truly sorry for your loss and can only offer prayers for comfort and healing. 

Death leaves a heartache
no one can heal;
Love leaves a memory no
one can steal.

See you soon , Peter , we Love you....

Love you Dude we miss ya...!!!!

Rudy Posadas Que la vida no hay caminos y que los caminos se hacen caminando
Y que en el camino te toparas con piedras
Da vincii uso la piedra para un arte
El obrero utilizo la piedra para descansar
El viajero cargo la piedra en su recorrido
Y astrólogos utilizaron la piedra como estrellas
Corazones que sufren y su dolor repercute
En manos de un poeta que los plasman en cuadernos
Que Hablan de la ironía de leopardos que se les arrancan la piel
Para que los seres humanos se abriguen en tiempos de invierno
Quienes Aprenden a caminar con pasos de odio y huellas de tristezas
Entienden que en la vida; O eres depredador o te conviertes en presa
Todas esas personas que conocen quien soy
Y conocen de la forma en que me he criado
Saben que yo
He reído por tristezas pero por alegría nunca he llorado
Que a mis 29 años de edad
Ya yo he logrado todo lo que una vez soñé lograr
Pero he perdido todo lo que me ayudo a lograrlo
Por ejemplo mi Papa

Rudy Posadas Goldito, en esa parte entras tu
Todas las veces que compartimos
Todas las veces que hasta discutimos
Tantas cosas que hablamos
Yo creo que hoy el planeta tierra tendrá que hacer reverencias
Y esta es la canción de gordito retro
Las veces de las motoras
Las veces de los fortran
Las veces de los vacilón en las discotecas
En los centros comerciales
A los primos no se les llora
A los primos no se les despide
Gordito hoy faltas aquí con nosotros
Pero acompañas al otro lado al viejo mio
Y de esto se trata el ciculo de vida
Ayer yo
Mañana tu

Y quizá no se
Pero lo que sabemos es que
En memoria de todas esas cosas que alguna vez nos unieron
Y que hoy no nos apartan
Nosotros no permitiremos que tu nombre se olvide de nuestra vidas.

Rudy Posadas Te amo mi mi primo , Mi amor por ti siempre vas estar conmigo! (Rudy Posadas personal tribute.)

I love you Peter you're not resting, I know , But you're. better , much better where you are. You are some one now and ever shall be. And with God always world without end. Amen.
