My remembering Peg Wallace spans forty-five years...nearly three-quarters of my life and over half of hers. From our first meeting when I was an impressionable sixteen year-old to our last wonderful visit three weeks ago, every moment with Peg has been in some way significant and unforgettable, her influence on my life indelible.
To this wise, witty, unflinching woman, who gave me unconditional love always, I am eternally grateful. I will miss the sound of her throaty "Hi, Honey" forever, but her indomitable spirit will live in my heart and, I pledge, my deeds for the rest of my days.
Peg often told me it was our responsibility to leave the world a better place. For each of us graced by her love, she has done that. Her legacy grows as each of us carries on her intention. In the end, it is love that transcends. It is love that matters. Peg was the embodiment of love.
