This can be a sign of plant stress caused by any number of issues, from disease to too much water. However, it is more prevalent among poorly watered trees--either too much or too little. Don't fertilize trees at this state, especially when droopy looking. Try too keep the roots moist but not wet. Don't water more than once a week but when you do, soak the soil deeply. Then just wait. There are no guarantees that this will fix the problem.

You might have better luck with cuttings from your friend's tree. You can grow a tree from the stone, but there is no guarantee you're going to get the same tree. Most peach trees are a combination of 2 types that have been grafted together. You can certainly give it a try. Just plant the seed in a good quality planting soil and treat it as a houseplant until it starts to grow.
Actually it sounds like a great gardening experiment and should be fun to give it a try.
