I worked with "Penny" as she liked to be called, for a short part of her life. I am sorry for your loss. I know she is with her other dtr now and both will be watching over you. She had some spunk about her and funny. Take care and if you ever need to talk, call me at DAnbury Health care. Sincerely, Evy

Mom I will miss you so much!Stairway to Heaven

They say memories are golden,
Well, maybe that is true;
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.

A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried;
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still;
In my heart you hold a piece
No one could ever fill.

But now I know you want me
To mourn for you no more,
To remember the happy times
Life still has much in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today;
A hallowed place within my heart
Is where you'll always stay.

If tears could build a stairway
And heartache make a lane;
I'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you back again.

Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same;
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

Dear Missy and Family,
In a fleeting moment life can bring most unexpected pain! As you mourn the loss of Penny, remembering all the wonderful times, the laughter and warmth will help to bring you some peace and comfort.
I shall forever remember Penny for her generous nature and giving spirit. I will remember that Penny was never one to complain and who saw good in everyone. During this sorrowful time remember that Penny is smiling and looking down on all those whom she loved. I am surrounded by many wonderful gifts that Penny bestowed to me, BUT the most precious gift she gave, was the gift of her friendship and for this I will be forever grateful.
As I am remembering Penny at this time it brings to mind her most favorite hymn, which is "How Great Thou Art", as I sit and reflect and recite these words it brings me a great deal of peace .

I hope that this brings you as muchpeace and comfort as it did for me.

With deepest regrets,

O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!
