Peggy Lanizzani On Tuesday, Oct. 22, I received word that my sister, Peggy, died while snorkeling in the Florida Keys. Since then I've been trying to come up with something to say that would reflect the level of my love for her and my grief at her untimely passing. I want to tell people that growing up we were so close we were often mistaken as twins; that we used to finish each others' sentences. She was a wonderful person: funny, caring, smart. There are many things I long to share, but I find there are no words, only fond memories and tears of grief for a loved one gone too soon.
In my sorrow I take comfort in the time we had together; that her death was relatively fast and that she was enjoying life and wasn't alone when she died. It's nearly Thanksgiving, and while my loss remains painful and fresh, I urge each of you to hold your dear ones close and give thanks for having them in your life.
