I too was so sorry to hear of Peg's passing. She hired me at the White House and was kind to me when I was a young, dumb kid, which was an episode of my life I'll never forget.
I wish I'd had some idea she was so seriously ill - I moved to Tennessee in 2001 and got out of close touch with my old friends. I'm so sorry I didn't get to come to the memorial, but I am making a donation to the Ovarian Cancer Coalition.
I think I'll make one to the University of Kansas Alumni Foundation, also...we both fall under that category. Peg will be sorely missed amongst her Democratic, Jayhawk friends.

I am so sorry to hear about this tremendous loss. Peg is one of the most positive and giving souls I have known. I am forever thankful for the privilege of knowing her and the honor of working for her. My prayers are with her family during this painful time, and I am terribly sorry that I will not be able to pay my respects in person at the memorial service.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I worked for Peggy in the mid-80's when she founded Clark Publishing Company in DC; I was her first employee on Capital Computer Digest and we had a great deal of fun working together.
The last time we saw each other was my wedding in 1993. She was a class act, a wonderful mentor, and a super lady.

I am so sorry for the loss of Peg. I will not be able to come to Washington for the memorial, but I will be praying for her and all her loved ones on Sunday. I will miss her, and I hope that Bruce and all her family find peace.
