Allen Michael Peregoy, On Tuesday, October 5, 2010, just twenty-six days shy of his thirteenth birthday, Allen Michael Peregoy, known by many as AJ was taken peacefully by God with his mother Crystal and father Allen at his bedside following his fierce struggle with cancer., AJ, better known as "Boo" to his parents, was born October 31, 1997, in Charlottesville, Virginia. AJ resided in the small rural county of Fluvanna in the town of Troy, Virginia. He was well known within his local community; he will be remembered for his captivating eyes and his sparkling, everlasting smile that could light up anyone's universe and take your heart away. AJ was friends with everyone, especially his classmates from Fluvanna Middle School where AJ attended and was so loved. The impact that AJ had on others during his all too short life was displayed most poignantly by all the support shown to him and his family during his illness., Like most children his age, AJ enjoyed playing video games, listening to music, watching TV and scary movies with his mom, and of course playing sports. He enjoyed fishing, camping, hunting, and loved riding four-wheelers with his dad. He was curious and always sought out new, daring challenges and thrills.There was no stopping AJ. AJ shared his interests with his loving and devoted parents. Together they were the three musketeers, AJ, Allen and Crystal., AJ was larger than life and was captivated by mostly by his love of baseball, his favorite sport. Raised as a Yankee fan, AJ began playing baseball at the age of six with Fluvanna Youth Baseball; donning the "#3" jersey year after year. AJ was a four time All-Star and he was a member of the 2009 "U-11" district winning team and state runner-up. After a stunning comeback from his illness, AJ played his last game at Carysbrook. During this game, he went one for one with a base hit and a walk. Although AJ played the infield and was a pitcher during his baseball career, on this day AJ played right field. AJ's catch of a fly ball in short right field helped propel his team to victory. Sadly, that would be his last day on the diamond, but he never lost his love for the game., AJ's life can be summed up by his fierce competitiveness on and off the field, his dedication to others and his team, his commitment and willingness to never give up, and most of all his love for his mom and dad. He will always be an inspiration to all of those who he touched with those beautiful eyes and his heart stealing smile. We have all been graced by God to have known and loved him., AJ is survived by his parents, Crystal Edwards and Allen Peregoy; grandparents, Christine Snow, Butch and Linda Peregoy; aunts and uncles, Travis Snow, Linda Lamb, Brian and Heather Peregoy; cousins, Taylor Snow and Devon Peregoy., A celebration of AJ's life will be held 11 a.m. Saturday, October 9, 2010, at the Fluvanna Middle School. AJ will be laid to rest at the Beaver Dam Cemetery by Sheridan Funeral Home in a private service., The family asks that in lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be forwarded to Crystal Edwards, 4050 Richmond Road, Troy, VA 22974., Allen and Crystal would like to extend their deepest appreciation and gratitude for all of your support, prayers, flowers, donations and especially the love that you have shared with their family over the last two years. |

No one was more confident, vibrant or enthusiastic about his pursuits., He loved his wife, Adriane, his family, his animals, Savannah, Skyler, Floyd, numerous lizards, and a turtle. He lived fully every moment. Dan's creative spirit was beautifully expressed in visual art, film, music and design. Inspirational, dedicated, honorable and loyal describe his very being. Snapshots from Dan's life show a unique and glorious individual., Dan was born on November 17, 1978, to Steven Mark Neumeister and Jan Pyland Harrison in Beverly, Massachusetts. He met his wife, Adriane Allen, in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 1998, and after living in California for a few years, the two ultimately settled in Crozet, where Dan became passionately involved in the Virginia wine industry., Dan was Assistant Vintner at White Hall Vineyards. There he developed an intense desire to learn winemaking. Without formal training in enology, Dan's love for his craft, his attention to detail and his work ethic enabled him to excel in both the vineyard and winery. He kept a keen eye on the vineyards, carefully following all stages of development. Dan loved what he did; it was not his job, it was his way of life.

David Mark Bailey, 44, of Earlysville, died of brain cancer on Saturday, October 2, 2010, in Charlottesville, Virginia, and was welcomed into everlasting life at his place at the Table with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ., David was born February 26, 1966, the son of Kenneth and Ethel Bailey, missionaries to the Middle East. For the first 22 years of his life, his home was Beirut, Lebanon, including the first 10 years of the Lebanese civil war. Because of war, the family was obliged to evacuate first to Switzerland in 1967, and later to Cyprus in 1982. David's two final years of high school were completed in a private school in Germany because he was, as a young man, especially vulnerable on the streets of Beirut., David attended Grove City College in western Pennsylvania, where he met and married his soul mate, Leslie McGarvey, of Emlenton, Pennsylvania. During his college years, he was active as a performing songwriter, playing evening and weekend gigs with a music partner. He also enjoyed choir, frat life, acting, and organizing an underground newspaper. David graduated with majors in English and Communication Arts. In the late 1980's, David and Leslie relocated to the Washington, D.C., area where David worked for the United States government in satellite imagery analysis. His career evolved to training and then program management with numerous software subcontractors, ending with employment with Eastman Software in Massachusetts., Their daughter, Kelcey, was born in 1992, and son, Cameron, in 1994., The day prior to moving to the Boston area, in July of 1996, David was diagnosed with brain cancer - Glioblastoma Multiforme IV (GBM). He was expected to have fewer than two years to live. Eager to have his life make a difference in the lives of others, he gave up his career in the software industry and, with a great leap of faith, launched a third career as a performing songwriter - a "troubadour of hope." Following two surgeries, radiation, experimental chemotherapy and nuclear therapy, David criss-crossed America (and Europe) singing in coffee houses and churches, for cancer conferences and cancer survivor groups for 12 years. David wrote all of his own songs, which grew out of his experiences of war and of battling a deadly cancer. He sang of faith, hope, love, and of living life to it's fullest each day. He experienced a recurrence of brain cancer in late 2008, recovering enough to tour in 2009 and early 2010.

His theme was "There may be years of tears behind you, but right now you've got One More Day." He leaves behind him a musical legacy of 23 professionally-recorded CDs. His music and his personal testimony have affected the lives of countless thousands in this country and around the world., The family offers deep gratitude to Doctor Henry Friedman, Doctor Allan Friedman and Doctor David Reardon at Duke and Doctor David Schiff at University of Virginia Medical Center and their caring staffs.

Dr. Velta Haas, 88, died on Wednesday, October 6, 2010, at the home of her daughter, Kristina Haas Lawwill, at Peavine Hollow Farm in Free Union, Virginia. Since her Alzheimer's diagnosis several years ago, Velta lived with her daughter, Kristina; and also her daughter, Anna Haas Wadsworth, in Charlotte, North Carolina., As a high school student, Velta's favorite subject was geography, which she studied intensely. She realized her life's dream to travel the world through her work as ship's doctor on the USNS General Sturgis. Velta met her future husband, Henry E. Haas, onboard ship and their courtship spanned several continents as they worked and sailed together. One of their early dates was in Sydney, Australia, where they danced their first waltz. In 1950, Velta and Henry ultimately settled in New York, where she remained until her move to Scottsville, Virginia, in 1977., Henry shared her passion for travel, and prior to his death in 1968, had sailed to all seven continents. In the 1950s and 1960's, he participated in four historic Operation Deep Freeze exploration missions to Antarctica., Velta's life, as well as those of her fellow Latvians, was indelibly defined by the Russian occupation of Latvia in World War II. Many were forced to flee their native country in order to find refuge and freedom elsewhere, having to leave behind their land, homes, and possessions. As such, Velta always impressed the value of education, travel, and reading upon her children and others in her life. She often stressed that education is one of the few things that can never be taken away. She also felt strongly that people should be exposed to travel while they were still young, so that it would help to shape and define who they would ultimately become., Velta received her medical degree in 1945 from the University of Innsbruck in Innsbruck, Austria. In New York, she also earned a master's degree in German from Hofstra University in 1968. In 1978, together with friend and former neighbor Kathy Coleman, Velta founded Scott's Landing Pre-school in Scottsville, Virginia, which was based on the Montessori method and is still in operation today. She considered this pre-school to be her greatest life's accomplishment., She was born to Colonel Jekabs and Kristina Alberts Dombrovskis on November 10, 1921, in Jelgava, Latvia. Kristina died only nine days after having given birth to Velta and her twin sister, Aina. Her father died in 1949 and her stepmother, Lizette Dombrovskis, died in 1979. She was also predeceased by her sisters Doctor Laimdota Dombrovskis in Ohio, Daina Dombrovskis in Virginia, and Ilga Banga in Latvia. Her only brother, Olgerts Dombrovskis, was taken by the Russian army from the high school he was attending when he was sixteen; his whereabouts are still unknown., She is survived by her three children, Kristina Haas Lawwill and her husband, Larry, of Free Union, Virginia, Anna Haas Wadsworth and her husband, Paul, of Charlotte, North Carolina, and Philip Henry Haas of Waynesboro, Virginia; and four grandchildren, Elizabeth Lawwill of Free Union, Virginia, Alexandra Lawwill of Virginia Beach, Virginia, Alison Wadsworth and Jonathan Wadsworth, both of Charlotte, North Carolina. She is also survived by her twin sister, Aina Garsils and her husband, Armands, of Babylon, New York., Velta will be buried alongside her husband at Long Island National Cemetery in Farmingdale, New York. The family will hold a private memorial graveside service to celebrate her life., In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the Charlottesville Free Clinic at 1138 Rose Hill Drive Charlottesville, VA 22903 or to the , Western Carolina Chapter, 3800 Shamrock Drive, Charlotte, NC 28215. |

He enjoyed life to the fullest and was a testament to us all about hope, love and joy. He loved his family and friends. He loved school when he could attend. He loved baseball. He always said without a doubt in the world he was going to play for the Pittsburg Pirates when he grew up. He loved swimming and playing with his dogs. He loved playing with his brothers; they were his life-line. His spirit and courage touched the lives of everyone he knew. His smile and wonderful hugs warmed the hearts of all of all he touched. His absence leaves a vast hole in our hearts. To summarize his life with words would be impossible. The closest words that come to mind are trust. He trusted his God, his family and the doctors. And Love, a pure love for family, friends and life that sickness could not break, pain could not shake and death cannot take away. In the midst of our sorrow, we take comfort in the words of King David at the death of his son, that we will go to him one day.

He enjoyed tending his large vegetable garden on his property in Currituck County, North Carolina for the benefit of family and neighbors. On most days, until his death, he could still be found tinkering at home in his workshop and on his two boats. However, his greatest joy and purpose in life came from the love and devotion to his grandchildren. He delighted in spending time with them on various projects. His final project was his mission with grandson, Kevin, to pursue the re-opening and restoration of a waterway in Currituck County, to once again allow boat traffic and fishing by adjoining property owners. He was surprised and incredibly proud to learn just before his death that the waterway will bear his name. Mr. Godfrey will long be remembered for his selfless devotion and loyalty to his mother and siblings during his youth, and later to his wife, children, and adoring grandchildren.
