Heaven Has a New Angel



His name is Todd Peterson and he will be missed so much here on Earth.

He lost his battle to cancer today, he fought hard and long. Most of all, he did it with so much grace and dignity, never wanting to once give up.

Why does it hurt so much? Well, you see, back in August 2005, I had just moved to California 2 months before, didn't have much friends, and just started a new job. When I started, he was one of the first people to befriend me in the office (beside my boss and a friend that trained me). He made me feel welcome there in an office that is in a world of it's own. He always made sure that I was okay, always making sure my day at work was okay. His smile and warm heart will always be what comes to mind when I think of him...

The world has become a darker place as another friend has said, he brought so much joy and light to many. He was a Paramedic, thus his job alone has helped many. His other jobs much bigger than the place I met him made him a very well known and loved person. We will miss him.

Rest in peace my friend. No more pain.

John 14:1-4
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.

My prayers are lifted to his wife and his family.

Todd, we miss you.
