Grandma, a bit late to this, as I only just found it on the internet.. I love you and I miss you! Thank you so much for all the years we spent together when I was growing up. Thank you for all the trips to the museum and planetarium. I have a son now that I look forward to taking in hopes that he can find the same joy and excitement that I found with you!

Dear Don & family, We were so saddened to hear the news of Penny's passing. Ken & I will be in Rochester next week and were planning to stop and visit, or at the least see you both at church. Penny will be remembered lovingly by all who knew. I'll miss her warm hugs and smile. Take care of yourselves. We'll see you soon. Love, Ken & Karen
