I was stationed with Pete in England at RAF Bentwaters, I also was honored and heartbroken to attend his Mmorial. I think of Pete often and look at the picutes from his memeorial and wake. I have a piture of him and another friend of ours on my mantle from when we were stationed together. We were young and in our prime and knew we would live forever. I remeber trying to talk Pete into making a career in the USAF. All he wanted to do was be a NYC Fire Fighter. He had a dream and a plan to ccomplish his dream. Pete I often think of the good times we had together.  I have a picture of your daughter form your Memorial. My girl friend and I took the picture of your daughter to church yesterday and prayed for her, you and your family. God Bless Pete we all miss you.

Maureen,

I am so sorry for your loss. I have been looking for you for our reunion and ended up searching the 9/11 site, and I found this page. My prayers are with you.

Hi —

It's mom again. Just thinking of you, as always. I'll see David and Cindy soon, and that should cheer me up. Hope you are all having a great party up there and watching out for us down here. Love you all the way to heaven. XXXXXX

Hey daddy, it's Ruby. I miss you so much. I'm 10 years old and I have been missing you my whole life and going to keep missing you until I die. I'm good, so is mom.

Although I did not personally know Mr. Peter Anthony Vega, I attended his funeral service. I have the memorial card distributed at the service framed, and I see it several times a day as a reminder of Mr. Vega's undaunted service. I have been praying for his family ever since. It is my honor and privilege to pray for you.

I don't know Pete personally, but I have always felt like I've known him on a deeper level. In 2001, I was 10 years old. My family and I were in church, and each parishioner was given a small piece of paper with a name on it, a name of someone who died on September 11th. The tiny piece of paper I got had neatly printed on it "Pete Vega." We were asked to pray for these people and for all the victims. And I prayed. Pete Vega. Someone who was just a name on a piece of paper to a 10-year-old kid became a connection. A relationship. To this day I still pray for Pete and for all who lost their lives that day. So, Pete, I want you to know that I'm still praying for you and that I will never forget you.

I'll always remember you as "Petey" and when you'd be out here visiting next door. You'd be throwing snowballs at me and generally causing a ruckus! :-) Although I hadn't seen you in years, I still remember those old days when we were kids and had no worries. You're a true hero, my friend.

I don't know your friend, or relative, but I am so very sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine the pain you all feel. I can't believe it has been almost ten years. It feels like it was just yesterday. We will never forget!

The sadness and loss of your family is so clear it brings tears to my eyes. Such a waste and loss of life that day but I hope you have found peace and eternal rest and that your loved ones will find you again when the time comes. Gentle thoughts to your family.

I miss not getting to be around him anymore. I miss not sharing memories, stories, and laughter anymore. Not sharing all the movies we would have enjoyed together. I miss going to the great house he repaired and having the food he cooked. I miss not getting the chance to see him watch his daughter, my niece, grow up and for us to get to play with her as she did. I miss his big ol' laugh. I miss his bear hugs. I miss his advice and his ability to make me feel better when I was hurting. I miss the comedy team that was him, me, and our uncle. I miss the back and knuckle cracking. I miss the whiffle ball games played no matter how old we were getting. I miss watching the original Star Wars movies over and over again.

I miss my big brother. All the time.

I'm Petie's mom. I just googled his name again today, thinking of him as always. Now his grandma, grandpa, grandma Ruth, grandpa Sam, and Uncle Brian have joined him. It's just one long grief. The upside to getting older and sicker is that I know I will join them, and all my other loved ones, sooner. Peter was always very special, the glue for our whole family. Losing him caused my father, mother, and brother to leave here sooner. I just know there is more than just this existence, and that gives us hope to keep going. Petie had a special aura—I can recount so many strange stories involving him. Wherever he is while waiting for us, he still sends me little reminders when I least expect it. Our little family now, just the three of us, sends love and prayers.

God bless all who remember, and keep them all in your prayers. Thanks.

Pete was my best man in my wedding and a great friend. We served together in the USAF in California in the 80's. Some of us in the shop have recently gotten back in touch and have found some great pictures of Pete and posted them for everyone to see. My page is:

I miss you, my friend....

I really miss you, and you missed the three Star Wars movies, and I'm doing just fine, but I'm not five anymore, like Jack said. I'm nine, and mom is great, and she's not doing so well with computers and stuff, and she misses your cooking. So do I. Well, I did this to tell you I miss you and still love you, and so does mom.

P.S. Mom misses you like crazy! XOXOXOXOXOXOXO

I love you so much, daddy, even if you're not here on earth. And I miss you more than anything in the world and mommy and my new puppies, Rosie and Roxie. Well, any way, I love you! XOXOXO

Dear Maureen,

Love,
Olivet

ANOTHER YEAR AND STILL OUR HEARTS BREAK AS IT DID IN '01. READING THE MESSAGE FROM YOUR MOM WAS HARD BUT I WANT TO BE THERE FOR HER WHEN SHE NEEDS ME. I'M ONE OF THE OLD FRIENDS FROM TEXAS. I LOVED YOU SO MUCH AND I PRAY YOU ARE AT PEACE. THANK YOU PETER, FOR YOUR SACRIFICE. WATCH OVER YOUR MOM, REGAN AND RUBY.. TILL THEN, GOD BLESS YOU

Thought of Peter today, as I do all the time. Two of my girlfriends from the old days in Texas were talking to me about him. I am so glad that so many people still think of and pray for Peter. Mother's Day is never the same and soon it will be your birthday and another Father's Day. I love you, Porky. Hope to see you sooner rather than later. Love, Mom XXXXX

Just thought I would google Petie. It is good to see some still love him and think of him. He is in our lives 24 hours a day and it never gets easier without him here in the flesh. Nothing will ever be the same -- Grandpa and Sam and Ruth are with you now and the rest of are just waiting for the day we will all be together. Please watch out for Nana and Tiny. And, of course, your beautiful girl Ruby. We miss her so. I know you will keep her safe and bring her to us someday. You were a special person from the day you were born. There will never be another like you.  My heart aches.
