Just thinking about you, I miss you. Just want you to know that you're not forgotten. Sometimes I could use a good laugh. Anyone could always count on you for that, or if they just need a friend to listen. I know you can hear me. Thanks for always listening.

Dear Medolan Family,
I was in your son's/brother's class at Mark Sheridan and he was so friendly, fun and nice to us. One memory I have is running into Peter when you took the entire family out to see Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure at the Brighton Park movie theater. He had an ear to ear smile playing video games and like me was thrilled to be out at the movies on a busy Friday night. He left a lot of positive memories behind for his classmates which I'll appreciate the rest of my life. The news of his passing is really heartbreaking and he will be missed by all of us!

I recently found out through grammar school classmates what happened. I think back to all the fun times we had and smile. You were a great person. You will be missed.

This is Peter when we were in 8th grade.

Hey Peter I sit here in disbelief that one of my coolest childhood friends has passed. I only found out a short while ago and I am trully shocked and saddened. I thought that I would see you again but God saw otherwise just know that I've thought of you over the years and wondered what you were up to. I missed you already because you were my buddy in school, but now I will miss you forever. Love Jasmene

I tell my oldest the stories behind the pictures I have of you and him (ex: offering his first Budweiser at 5 months old...) =p You had so much potential and so much warmth and humor. My heart still aches for a wonderful friend gone too soon. Miss ya Pete.

November 21, 2007

As I was preparing for the holiday with my kids, I glanced over at my fridge and there you are, widows peak and all, grinning back at me from your mass card. Man, I still cannot believe someone I knew for so long is not here with us anymore. It's so sad. I cannot even imagine the sadness in your family's heart not having you with them. I look through pictures and crack up at the fun times we all shared years ago, and miss you very much. My hope is that your family finds comfort in all the wonderful memories of you and those memories keep them strong through the holidays. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas Pete, from a friend who thinks of you often. I miss ya.

Man we all looked like babies. When I think back over the years of all of the friends that have drifted in and out of my life, I am greatful to have had Pete in my life.

Liz

April 28, 2006

Pete-it's five months later and I'm still a wreck. I miss you so much that I feel like I can't breath sometimes. I wonder what you're doing all of the time and it's a sting that won't leave me alone. Kayla still says you're coming back. We will see each other again soon. Until then, I'll be thinking of you...

I wanted to let those who knew and cared about Pete that I am walking in his honor in the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention Out of the Darkness Overnight walk on August 12-13.

If anyone is interested in creating a team to walk the event, please e-mail me. If you can't walk, donations can be made to help us reach our goal.

I miss Pete more and more as each day goes by and words can not express the loss we are all feeling. I chose to honor him in this walk and the good that he did in this world.

Thank you!

I'm missing you. There's a song that reminds me of you. It's country so you'd hate it. I think that's why I like it so much. Every morning I wake up, it's one day closer to seeing you again. I hope that you're so overwhelmed with the joy of heaven that you're still laughing when we laugh. Every time I laugh, I think of you. You, just you..GOD, I miss you. I love you my friend! We'll meet again soon. I have so much to tell you when we do!

I got a message online today asking if I knew Pete Medolan...I said "Hell yea, I love Petey!" I thought Pete was hanging out with my friend and I was going to be able to catch up with him, instead I'm in shock by what I just heard. My condolences go out to Pete's family and friends. Pete was one of the most non selfish, considerate and sincere people that I've come across in my life. May his spirit live through all the lives he has touched.

pete wasnt only my cousin and godfather but he was like a brother i never had. he did everything possible to make me happy. i just feel so selfish becuase he wont be there when i graduate, or when i get married, or when i need him the most! i remember so many things like when there was a bilzzard and he got plowed in and it took us 2 hours to get the car out! and he would sit on me and just fart on me and laugh about it! but i know hes in a better place now and that he watching over me and he also watching over his neice! so aunt jean and uncle larry you might have lost a son but you also gained an angel! and my heart goes out to to everybody who misses him because i feel it to! i love you all!

Melissa Kelly

November 27, 2005

Our hearts are broken because a beautiful, funny, handsome, smart, loving, silly, Simpson-loving, big-hearted, special person has gone home to Jesus. Pete isn't sad anymore, but we are because he will be so sorely missed. I will miss my goofball brother for the rest of my life and not a day will go by that I won't be thinking of him. I cherish the memories that will live on. But a piece of my heart went with him. I'll never forget the way he made me laugh and now he makes me cry.



Please come back often so we can remember the fart jokes and share stories.



With all of the love in my heart,

Your loving sister Melissa

Pete, Pedro, Uncle Peter-you will remain in our hearts forever!
