This memorial site was created for our beloved Husband and Daddy.

Rick Peterson was born on December 18, 1957 in Los Angeles, California.  His physical life was tragically taken on April 5, 2008.  His spiritual life continues!  I see it (him) everyday in our girls.

For those of you who have been a continuous influence in Shelby and Sydney's lives, you have been given a genuine honor.  Rick sees this and is thankful that you have kept his memory valid and true.  We are the lucky ones; we are closest to those he loved most!

Please, visit the Tributes page and leave a special memory you have of Rick.  The girls will enjoy reading them in the years to come, knowing their dad touched your life.

You can shed tears that he is gone,
or you can smile because he has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that he'll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all he has left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him and only that he's gone,
or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back,
or you can do what he'd want:
Smile, Open Your Eyes, Love and Go On.
