An e-mail from a law school classmate

My name is Jennifer Owen (Walsh), and I went to law school with Peggy. For years, I've been Googling her name- and of course I had misspelled it all along, and was not able to find out whatever happened to her after Villanova. I found her memorial page just now, and my heart is breaking. My heart is breaking for her family- her husband, and especially her precious daughter. Although we weren't close in law school (I guess we both weren't very social) I had always admired Peggy. She was simply brilliant, gorgeous, yet so very humble. She graduated at the very top of our class, but you'd never know it if you met her. She had that sweet, shy smile- she was quiet, but when she spoke, she was so introspective, thoughtful, and kind. I'm still in disbelief. I'm sorry to bother you all, but as you know Peggy touched so many people. I always knew she'd be destined for greatness- I guess she was too great for this world. May she rest in peace. I miss you, Peggy.
