So very, very sorry to hear of Peter’s passing; a fine young man and far too young to be taken away from us.
The great man is he who does not lose his childlike heart.
Though my heart sobs now, I have been filled with life and an endless love, thanks to your great presence. The mission that you and I were meant to be on, will continue. Yes, I promise, my Baby Love. Peace to you as you play guitar with the other Heavenly angels. Keep that Happy Pete smile of yours, and spread that whimsy up in Heaven too! <3 Always and Forever…
Peter and Jane,
My heart is broken reading this. May God give you strength. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Bob
Rest in peace Peter. You were much loved and you will be sadly missed.
Peter you were an amazing man and friend. Though you will be missed we know you will never be far away now. God has taken you physically but you are an angel on our shoulders. We will miss you greatly and remember you fondly. Rest peacefully our dear friend.
Dear Doyle Family,
I am sorry for your loss. May each of you find comfort in knowing that God is “near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.” (Psalm 34;18) He has promised to soon “swallow up death forever…and wipe the tears from all faces.” (Isaiah 25;8) With deepest sympathy,
May memories of Pete and your faith in God comfort you during this time. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
Peter and I were good buddies when we were teenagers. A mutual friend just told me the news. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Doyle family.
We were friends of Peter, fellow Miata owners, and mutual friends of Bill W. Our hearts are heavy and we want Peter’s family and friends to know that we were so very fond of him. We appreciated his quick wit, recognized his keen intelligence, and we knew that his still waters ran very deep. We had great hopes that Peter would realize his full potential and enjoy all the best things in life. Our prayers are with him and with those who loved him. Truly we are so saddened at this time.
I went to junior high school with Peter. It has been many years since I have seen him, however I have many fond memories. My deepest sympathies to his family.
Dear Kristen and Cathy,
I am so saddened by your loss. I remember Peter well, and my heart breaks for all of you. Please know that you and your parents will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Mr and Mrs Doyle,
I have just learned of the terrible news. Although Peter and I lost touch many years ago, I have thought about him often. He was such a wonderful friend and all of my best high school memories are so vivid because they involved him. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the girls during this difficult time.
Peter, may heaven greet you with the peace and happiness that you deserve. You are forever young in my heart with that twinkle in your eyes and that wonderful, contagious grin.
Peter will forever hold his special place in our hearts.
Much, much love to all the Doyle family. You are all so very much in our thoughts and prayers.

Peter, you were always kind and had that goofy smile in high school. Though I have not seen you in many years, I can still see your smile. I hope you are at peace, smiling down on us all in heaven.
May God comfort the Doyle family,

Jane & Peter,
As hard as I might try, there are no words that I could say that would ina ny way ease the pain that you have with the loss of Peter. Knowing the two of you as I do, I know that each will be the strength the other needs to help you through this time.
You two are very special to me and both Ann and I will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
