Tribute to a dear friend

Post by _harmony »

Some of us on this board were privileged to know Peggy in real life. She was a gem, a dear friend, and she understood us sometimes when no one else did. She was a card carrying member of the Fringe. She wrote an essay about being a faithful unbeliever that is both wise and timely.

The essay is here, preserved for posterity: http://www.newordermormon.org/essays/fa ... ievers.cfm

Peggy is not here. She died the day before Thanksgiving from the cancer that had reoccured. With her passing, there is a hole in my life. My sincere condolences to her family. I wish I could attend her funeral. My thanks to Trinity for bringing her passing to my attention.

Peggy was a beautiful soul. Her family was blessed to have her as long as they did.

Did not know her but I have seen her posting. How sad. I will pray for her family.

For those who are interested, there is no funeral. Her obituary is here.

I will miss Peggy. She was a wonderfully insightful individual.

Wow, she led a pretty amazing life. What must it have been like to attend school in Russia during the cold war?

She sounds like she was an amazing person. I'm sorry for your loss, Harm.

My thoughts and prayers will be with her family.
