Teigan, daughter of Tisha Brown, was murdered by her father (Ryan Dale Peters) in a murder suicide
incident on Father's Day June 21st, 2009 in Coconino County, Arizona; He shot her in the head and
turned the gun on himself.
Teigan was the only child of Tisha and Ryan. They divorced soon after Teigan was born, but agreed
that they would share custody, one week here and the next there; Friday to Friday. Ryan couldn't get
over the divorce and tried to manipulate every situation so he could be in control; her school,
where her mother and she lived, who she associated with, etc.
On Friday the 19th of June, Tisha went to pick up Teigan and she wasn't at the child care. She filed
a custodial interference report with the police and tried to find out where they were. Ryan turned
off his cell phone so nobody could get hold of him.
Sunday came (father's day). Early evening Ryan called his father speaking of suicide. His father
notified the police. Late that evening Ryan allowed Teigan to call her mom and they spoke for
several minutes; Teigan sang to her mom and Tisha was able to tell Teigan how much she loved her.
Not long later the police found Ryan's truck and both bodies inside. Details in this case reveiled
that this murder was premeditated, as "good-bye letters" were discovered that were dated the day
before he killed her.
The family of Ryan has not spoken to us since the day of the incident, dispite our many times to
contact them. They did not come to Teigans services nor offer help or condolences, nor offer Teigans
property back to her mother,
We always knew Teigan was an angel, but now she has wings. We will miss her forever.
I'm sorry
Today I just can't help but feel so freaking angry. I'm mad that his family hasn't so much as offered their condolences to me, and I'm the one who didn't choose to lose you. I am mad that anyone defends that jerk, or that there is a single soul on this earth that can make themselves believe that this in some way was my fault. DOES ANYONE LOVE A CHILD MORE THAN HER MOM???? I begged him to be nice. I begged him to bring you home, and I begged his family to tell me where you were. I would have come myself. I always dropped everything for you, and I would have come. I told you that on the phone. If only you could have told me where you were. It's not your fault though. It was his and his alone. Nobody can ever make someone do something they don't want to do. I love you so much. You were my baby, my love, my life, and his pawn. And when he realized he couldn't use you to his advantage anymore, he took you away from me.. it was only to hurt me.. it's not fair that nobody believed me. All I did was fight with him to let you be happy. I'm so sorry baby girl. I'm soo sorry. I shouldn't have let him have you at all, but I was trying to do the right thing by letting you have your dad, and I figured you would figure out who he really was when you got older.. I never knew he wouldn't give you that chance.. I love you and I always will. I'm sorry you have to see me upset today baby. I promise to do better tomorrow. Sleep well my angel. kisses and hugs.. mommy

Moosh, you will never know how much you filled my world.. not only mine, but everyone who knew you. Your mommy and I still have not packed your room, but you mommy and daddy and Aca just got a place of their own. We are all doing pretty good, but we miss you and can't wait,.. Don't worry if you see us cry once in a while, we only wish we were with you or visa versa... I look at your pictures sometimes and laugh. Just seeing your smiling face makes me smile.. I hope you are playing and laughing there.. say hi to my mom and dad too... I love you always,.. gram

The White Chariot
(Julie Johnson)
During your journey on your final flight home.
White wings will carry you and you will be flown.
To the pearly gates of Heaven, where they will usher you in.
To the feet of your Lord, your Saviour, and your friend.
He will hold you in his arms and the angels will sing.
As another one of His children is delivered by white wings.

My ANGEL
Hi my baby. I miss you so much! Look at all of the amazing people that look after you and Gram on here!! We touch a lot of people's lives everyday, and I know that we make a difference! I love you with all of my heart, and I think about you all of the time. You are always with me, and I am living to make you proud!! Don't think that just because I don't write everyday, that I love you any less. I will always be a better person for being your mommy. I got to spend some time with Gram today. We had a nice day. She misses you a lot, and you are helping her get all kinds of new friends =).. Even from way over there!! You were always looking out for us, and I know you are now too.
Goodnight my baby, sleep good, ok! I love you! I'd pat your back all night and read you every story you wanted if I could..it's the thought that counts now, right? mwah mwah mwah
Hello Munchkin
I was lookin at the pictures that Gram posted, and you are soo freakin adorable!! I miss you so much, moosh! But, life is going on, and I am trying to make you proud everyday. I want to come and see you again someday, so I am making sure that I am worthy to come back home. I just want you to know that even though I am still living my life, that it doesn't hurt any less that you are gone. But I realize that if I don't keep my head up and my heart open, that both of us died that day, and I can't let you go in vain. I will continue to live for both of us, and I will have you in my thoughts and prayers always. Come visit us when you can, even if it's in our dreams. I love you and miss you, my baby.. thank you for giving me this strength, and give hugs and kisses for me..
love,
mommy

For the cutest little Angel
May the Angels take you gently with them.
To the heavenly sky up above.
May your friends and your kindred be waiting,
To embrace you with their love.
May you hold a corner there for us,
Till we soar on the wings of a dove.
May you our friends and our kindred embrace us with your love.
May the Angels take you gently with them.
Precious Angel
I love you dear mummy
And i know I'm not here today
But last night while i slept
Sweet angels flew me away
They gave me a beautiful garden
With wings to fly to you
Mummy don't cry i am here
And that's what angels do
I'm happy in my garden mummy
And i want you to smile for me
As now i can watch over you
Just like you watched over me
Send me some lovely flowers
And little gifts for me to play
Don't miss me mummy i love you
Magoo, saw this and thought of you
I Only Wanted You
They say memories are golden
well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.
A million times I've needed you,
a million times I've cried.
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.
Our family really misses you,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
we'll be together again.
I love you baby, Gram
