When people pass on to their Great Reward, the world measures their lifetime against perfection and accomplishments.
The earth, especially, was much better off that Pegi walked it to show the rest of us less informed mortals how it should be respected and brought back to its original state and maintained with intelligence and love.
In short, the earth was much better off that Pegi walked upon it for so long…but not long enough.
