I wish I had a car and could have been there. I'm glad some DUers were there.

I don't know how it could have been anything but a beautiful, moving service. I don't think I have ever seen such an outpouring of grief, emotion and so many tributes to anyone as Jim Peterson here on DU. He was unique and special man

Oh well. Yes, it was a wonderful memorial. I've been wanting to post about it in GD, but just haven't been able to pull all my thoughts together yet.

As for all the tributes on DU - Sybylla printed out that whole thread and gave it to his wife. When Carla was giving her eulogy, she brought that up and said that it was really wonderful to read how so many people loved and cared about Jim here on DU, and she thanked us all.

That's. I don't know what to say.

I'm in Chicago and I honestly didn't think about posting to ask if anyone here was going. Shoot. That would have been the smart thing to do.

I really appreciate that you have posted this. I know that many wished they could have gone.

Anyway, I know that lots of DUers wished they could have gone - and I did my best to speak for all of us when I got up to speak at the memorial.

(And I realize I really need to make that GD post I've been meaning to do...)

I'm sure you represented us beautifully. And I greatly appreciate it.

Take your time. I know everyone can wait until you are ready.

<- wish it could be a real one.

Thank you so much

Greatly appreciate your representing us all.

Thanks scarletwoman......

Kind, wise, funny, deep, inclusive....devoted to doing Good..... He made a big impression on me, too.....wish I'd chatted more

I knew it was going to be a great service and would have loved hearing what you and others had to say about Jim.

The way the wedding turned out, I regret not staying now for Jim's service instead.

You are welcome. You gave a grand little talk--moving-heartfelt-- and represented DU and yourself very well.


It was nice meeting you and others.--really I loved the setting--it was so so 'JIM"--out in nature.

Also--loved the chair that was reserved in the front with the Bernie Sanders shirt on it. What a great thing to do in his memory.

Glad to see you made it home--that was a very long trip for you but sure glad had opportunity to meet up with you.

In solidarity

Loved his posts on DU and also met him more than once at Democratic conventions. His intelligence made him a wonderful conversationalist. I'm so sorry I couldn't make his memorial but I am physically restricted at the moment.

This place, certainly this world, will be poorer for his passing.

Jack had to be there with you spirtually.

Wish I could have been there too, although I have mourned his loss as have so many others.

Thank you for speaking on our behalf, scarletwoman.

Jim...

Both of you were able to attend. I really liked Jackpine Radical. I'm glad for the local representation. Thank you!

Thank you for being there as witness for all of us.
