Derek,
I am at a complete loss for words. My heart aches for you and your family.  Hold close the wonderful memories of your little Peter.  Reach out to your family and friends for love, support and strength through the difficult days ahead. I will keep both you and Peter in my thoughts and prayers.

Dearest Little Peter -
I met you twice last month...shook your little hand,  said  hi and  saw your smile.  I am sorry I did not know what you were going through.  I am so sorry I did not know to protect you. You will be in my heart always and I will never forget you. 

Peter was a wonderful little boy. He brought so much happiness to my life.  I will always remember our sleepovers and how you called me "Mariva" because you couldnt pronounce my name. I remember you saying I was your "baby girl" and you were my "baby boy". I Love You Peter! I will never forget you. Xoxoxo

I loved Peter more than anyone can imagine. He was my "Buddy".  I loved spending time with him and he loved spending time with me.  He will forever be in my heart and memories. I love you Peter! Love Auntie Lisa xoxoxo

Such devastation I can’t fathom we r from  Saugus and all my children Matthew ,  Sarah And Katey grew up with Alison and many members of the family and went to school together  to know this child’s mother could take part is so heartbreaking no words can comfort but our hearts are broken along with your family
