Seems Peggy Chun had quite the send off as she departed this world. Read Lee Cataluna's story today and be sure to have that box of Klenex handy. What a blessing she was to our world. And now she has fresh brushes and paints in Heaven!

Yes, bless her and all of her wonderful friends and caregivers. Bless her cat Boo who surely is heartbroken. I attended a lovely benefit for her at Downtown a couple months ago. Peg was there and it was so inspiring to
see her surrounded by her loving family and friends. What a treasure she
was and will continue to be through her work. Thanks Peggy!

What an inspiring life story. Even though Peggy didn't choose to have ASL, she left this world on her own terms (thanks to all the loving people around her).
The most beautiful thing, about Peggy's death, is the community which was born around her. I hope they continue to meet and share their love. It would be a shame to see that die.

Peggy's story, if it wasn't so downright glorious, would be unbearably and painfully sad. But that was so not Peggy. I have an acquaintance who was one of Peg's Legs so I'd get intermittent updates.
Imagine leaving this earth giving and receiving so much love. I think Peggy set a whole, new, very high standard for being a patient.
I agree with MJ. I hope Peg's Legs remain close friends for a lifetime. Like their patient, they have so much love to share.
RIP, Peggy. Someone really needs to do a documentary on your life.

Re: R.I.P. Peggy Chun: Artist, Party Girl, Aloha Spirit
I saw the article in both papers this morning. What an amazing story, for an amazing woman.
I'm honored to have one of her pieces from 1992 hanging on my wall:
Now, every time I look at it I'll think about today's stories.
R.I.P. indeed, Peggy..
.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

As a spouse whose husband died of ALS, I understand the dedication and sacrifices of those who love and took care of Peggy.
The afflicted are Special.
Rest In Peace Peggy Chun.
Love and ALOHA,

I know Lee couldn't care less what I think, but I have to say that story will stay with me a long time. It seemed as though she had a connection with Peggy.

The Star Bulletin's coverage (at least what I could find) was detailed, but it read like late breaking news. Lee's coverage felt more like a feature / editorial. It seems she had (or made) more time to work on it."By concealing your desires, you may trick people into being cruel about the wrong thing." --Steven Aylett, Fain the Sorcerer

Re: R.I.P. Peggy Chun: Artist, Party Girl, Aloha Spirit
Lee sheds a little light on her relationship with Peggy in yesterday's column in The Advertiser. I'm glad she did. Lee plays her cards close and mostly what she writes is what she observes and not what she experiences. That's her style and choice, I guess. I'm so opposite of that. I usually open a vein and let it all out, except for anything about my spouse who has demanded he be off limits. Most of the time he is, LOL.
Anyway, be sure to read Lee's Sunday column.

(I know many of you already know her personal stories - for those who don't, I'm sorry, but I will not elaborate.)
