Peg's son, Jeff, was kind enough to stop by this morning to let us know that our Peg passed peacefully in her sleep last night -- 25-June-14.
I think it would be a great honor for us to remember her and share our stories.
When I met Peg back in 07 or 08 on the old boards, I instantly liked her. An exceptional woman who spoke her mind and wasn't afraid to do so. She always was fair and came to the rescue of many. I loved reading her posts. And who can forget her Mystery Person game. It was a hopping place back in the day!
Sorry . . . This is a truly sad day for me.
I'll be back.

So sorry to hear of the loss of a very good board friend. I first met Peg in 2008 when I accidently found the MSN AI board. She was one of the first to greet me and welcome me to the board. Peg will be missed by many posters. Sorry folks I cant post any more just yet.

Peg was a one off, don't think we will see the likes again, her posts where always interesting, a light has gone from all the boards she appeared on, but her memory will live on, well, has long as all the people who knew her. R.I.P Peg.

Peg was one of those rare individuals who we only come in contact with a few times in a lifetime. Intelligence, well read and appreciative of poetry and the written word. She was able to quell the storms and tame the beasts with her calm, logical manner. Always interesting and interested in some of the inequities that pervades ordinary lives. She spoke out about the things that were unfair.
I will miss her posts as they were the magnet that attracted me. I hope the mysteries of the afterlife are now solved and she as a good person will enjoy the universal library of all knowledge. I'm sure her spirit is welcome among the spirits of exceptional good people who inhabited this Earth. Good bye Peg, until your next post. Tom

I am sad to hear that she passed, I may not be a very active or long term member here, but, for the short time I have been here, she was a bright spot to look forward to.

Perhaps if we could see the splendor of the land to which our loved ones are called from you and me, we'd understand.
Perhaps if we could hear the welcome they receive from old familiar voices, all so dear, we would not grieve.
Perhaps if we could know the reason why they went, we'd smile and wipe away the tears that flow: we'd wait content.

May the winds of love blow softly, And whisper in Peg's ear That we will always miss her, And wish she was still here.
Sleep well Peg

I was very sad & surprised to get the news about Peg. She & I had a conversation on another board this Spring about horse racing. She was excited about the prospect of another Triple Crown winner, & told me one of her dreams was to attend a race at Belmont. I never found out if she achieved that dream this year!
I am going to miss her. A very smart & kind lady. I'm sending out prayers to her family for comfort & peace.

I am so sorry Sunshine to read of Peg's passing. I didn't have the chance to know her, but from the kind words spoken here, I see she was a special lady. My sincere sympathy to you and all your members.

I didn't know Peg very well... I'd seen her around on the MSNBC boards posting as TheFlyingHorse. I was sad to find out Friday evening that she had passed away... I know a lot of people knew her pretty well and will miss her... this is how I think of her now that she has "slipped the surly bonds of earth"...

Well i have been busy-busy for the last few days, came on here and was so saddened to learn about the passing of "PEG" as i like many others have been chatting to her for quite a some time now,and like others on here i felt as if i had known her for years, nothing ever seemed to phase her----always came across (even when she was`nt well) as a cheerful sole PEG this place wont be the same, R.I.P.

I am saddened to hear about Peg's passing. In the time I knew her, I was impressed by her calm, collected manner and her straightforwardness. I liked her.
My thoughts and condolences to her family.
RIP Peg
