For the first time in three months I did not shed a tear for my wife...... I cried for Peg.

While an impossible battle raged inside her, she was always concerned with the well being of others. Peg would let that be known through a note, e-mail or a simple phone call. And that huge smile would tie up all the loose ends.

This place is lot better from her presence ... and a little sadder from her passing.

My thoughts to you Russ, and her family.

Pat and I enjoyed Peg and will miss her.

She fought the good fight against a terrible foe.
