My condolences to the family of Peta-Gaye. I am a cousin of Peta-Gaye's and had the wonderful opportunity to spend some brief time with her in Atlanta about 10 years ago. I was very proud of how she had worked so hard and achieved so much. I am very saddened by her loss but she has left an indelible mark on all of her family and friends.

It is with great sorrow that I write this message. Peta and I were in Toastmasters together at The Stanley Works. Always vibrant and graceful, Peta shared many things about herself through her speeches. I am thankful for the opportunity to know her - she is a beautiful woman, wife, mother, and friend. My condolences to her whole family.
