This was a perfect post! I wrote something to the effect that he seemed to JUST DISAPPEAR and none of us had any real clue how sick he was and then he died and he was goooone. I wish we'd had some idea as to how he was doing. I felt in my heart he would beat his cancer and I just kept waiting for him to return because we didn't hear anything............at all. Without invading the family's privacy, it would've been nice for either them, or ABC to have clued us in, especially at the end. I sit here still in shock, and it's because I remember a vibrant Peter announce he was ill(with only a telltale scratchy voice) and then no news at all, except he was celebrating his birthday (which gave me hope) and then he died and nooothing. I would've thought that after the family funeral, they could have told us he was "at rest" now or something. That would've at least made my mind try to realize what had happened. I loved him, too, just like everyone else. Until we can see the "celebration of his life", I will mourn. Labor Day can't come soon enough for the memorial service! Thanks to ABC for giving us this forum. IF you can, maybe give us just a little more time here. Thanks. Lee
