I met Penny working at the Auditor's Office. We became very good friends inside and outside of work. I could always count on her for giving me good, honest, and very straight forward advice/opinions on daily life challenges. I came to love her very and will miss her greatly.

Max, I remember your mom fondly, our trips to the Drs office when she had the abscess, all she talked about was you and her love and concern for you. She was an incredibly strong, opinionated, but very loving woman, who adored her only child.

Penny was a wonderful soul with
whom I shared the pleasures of fine dining and theatre. Loved to listen to her and Max's travel experiences, of which there were many! She spoke her mind and Max inherited her sharp wit. Miss you.
