| “Joan Pernicano, whose youngest son, Andrew, was in the Cub Scout troop led by Scott Peterson's mother, remembers the youngster as a homebody who was "close to both parents equally." "He was a little bit reticent, stoic maybe. My son bounced off the walls, but Scott wasn't that way. He was quiet and polite," Pernicano said. "He's a smiler, and when he smiles, his whole face lights up." "I am having a very difficult time with this," she said, choking back tears. "The scary thing to me is if someone as responsible, as caring and as loving as him could do this, then any of our sons could do it." Joan Pernicano and Jackie Peterson have been good friends forever. "It breaks my heart to see what he's going through right now. I know Scott. There's no way." She posted this in Laci's guestbook: First Name : Joan Pernicano City : San Diego Message : Jackie, Lee, Scott and family, Larry, I and our family are all praying for you and for Lacis return. I am checking the airlines to see if it is possible for me to get up there tomorrow (Thursday) to help you in any way that I can.
