    Thank you Stacie. So many that we grew up with have "gone away home."

    I just learned of Peggy’s death while visiting Brookhaven. I’m sorry for your loss. I, too, have memories of her from years ago, when we were sitting in front of your family at New Salem. Later she always asked about my life/family when I visited as a new wife, mother, etc. Somehow I still expect her and others to be in those same seats when I return to New Salem. My sympathy in your loss.
