Our Uncle, my godfather Peter passed away recently. Peter Pigott was author of a long line of books including the brilliant See Jane Fly and Fire Eaters.

He was obsessed with aviation and shared his passion with the world.

Peter led a life of adventure and was a world traveller.

One of his greatest talents (that runs in the Pigott fam) was his ability to tell a gripping story with fervour. The room would be entranced. I envied his memory; he would quote poetry, song lyrics and novels. He inspired us by bringing a Dickens or Frost prose into an everyday message. He was a real champion of people he adored and let you know often. This all being said, he was also a genuine goof ball and had a crazy sometimes inappropriate sense of humour.

His absence will be felt.

He left behind amazing and wonderful daughters Holly and Jade and a spirited Granddaughter Aria.

As well as close knit Sisters, Brother, Cousins and many more.

His relationship with family brought him true happiness and pride!

Of course, biggest supporter in love and laughter, partner in all things silly and champion of his heart, his best friend and wife Donna.

One of the most wonderful moments for Peter was finding Love again later in life. Peter found this with Donna Hudson. And he really shouted it through the rooftops! And of course, dripping romantic poetry for Donna in true Peter fashion wherever and whenever he could! Love changed his life.

Donna has a giving nature you can tell when you meet her that there was nothing, she wouldn’t do to make Peter happy.

The strength it must take to endure watching “your person” drift away more and more every day; You are now the medication provider, primary care giver, nurse, cook and the one that must supply tough love too.

Donna turned their apartment into a hospice so Peter could have comfort, peace and moments of joy with her, family and friends right till the end!

We have created this Go fund me for Donna to help with the end-of-life expenses.

No one talks about how expensive this care can be but of course getting rid of furniture to bring in special machines so your partner can live comfortably is just the beginning. Hiring the special equipment on a month-by-month basis, purchasing the many supplies required, uncovered portions of prescription drugs for months on end it is an overwhelming process and leaves you with a financial burden to struggle with at the end when you are mourning your beloved.

A few dollars here and there can go a long way. Please spare what you can to help Donna for taking care of a wonderful person we miss and had the pleasure to know.

For our Peter.
