Eulogy for George H. Peddie
coco writes "Until last Friday, I did not know for sure that angels existed. My father was in the ICU and on a ventilator when a little girl and her mother walked in. The little girl was wearing what I imagine was her confirmation dress and carrying a harp about as big as she was. Her mother explained to me that she was the daughter of one of my father’s dearest friends, that they loved my father, and she asked if it would be all right if her daughter could play for him. And with the most peaceful, loving smile on her face, unfazed by the machines and ravages of illness, that 9-year old girl played her harp at my father’s bedside. It was at that moment, as I watched this child with the face and soul of an angel, that I knew for sure that they existed because I knew Daddy and I had been visited by one."

Petty vs. Peddie
dpeddie writes "There is some anecdotal evidence (family stories etc.) to suggest that the PEDDIES originated from Ireland, the name PETTY becoming PEDDY in Scotland, or that PEDDIES went to Ireland where the reverse happened to the surname. There are two possible explanations for the surname Petty and its variants Pettie, Pettee, Petit, and Pettitt when it is found in Ireland. The principal Petty family was established in the county Kerry by the famous Sir William Petty in the seventeenth century. The name may be of the nickname origin, descriptive of some personal or physical characteristic of the initial bearer and in this case, the name may be derived from the Old French "petit" meaning "small, one small in stature"."
