Oh, Peggy -- you were such a kind and generous person in all you did. The world needs more people like you! It was an honor to know you.

Peggy was my sponsor when I joined the Children's Book Guild of Washington D.C. over twenty years ago now. She would come say hello at the Bethesda, Maryland library where I was a children's librarian to ask me how my writing was coming along and to encourage me. She was a lovely, kind and generous woman, and I've missed seeing her at the Guild meetings.

What a joy it was to have been her friend!We had such good times together. And after we moved from Takoma Park to Norfolk, she kept writing to me because she knew I was homesick. When we moved to Vermont, she made sure a mutual friend contacted me right away, and so she became responsible for another close friendship. John and I shared China, and Peggy and I shared our love for writing for children and much much more. I'm so grateful to have known them both.

Peggy and John were originals who lived life for the good and to the fullest. Though we hardly knew each other, they were models to this then young family starting out as UUs at Cedar Lane Church. Blessings!

Dear David and Ann, What a beautiful life. One should be so lucky to do half of what Peggy did. I'm glad you were able to have so many memories to share. Thinking of you.
