"I want to be an outrageous old woman who never gets called an old lady. I want to get leaner and meaner, sharp edged and earth colored, til I fade away from pure joy!" (author unknown) I think of Peg every time I see this sign. I had just turned 30 when I joined AAC NOW and met Peg. What an inspiration! I was afraid of my shadow, but Peg showed me how to stand up for myself and others. Mostly she showed me how to stand up for what is right. I am sure I would not be where I am today, but for knowing Peg. She leaves quite a legacy.

I close my eyes and sigh
(It is my time to die)

Gentle is your touch farewell
(With sadness your eyes do swell)

Weightless, my soul does not resist
(Amid accolade and apotheosis)

Death's peaceful passageway
(And love’s final exposeˊ)

An act of God or divinity
Exiting with grace and dignity
