Dear Aunt penny, I love and miss you so much its unexplainable how empty I feel, you were always the person that listen, understood and tried to help anyway you could. I never would dreamed you and my mom left all of us just days apart, I'm so hurt that Dill Pickles (what you named him ) never got to meet you, I will make sure he hear all of our stories, (WELL NOT ALL) LOL.You defiantly made the dark days brighter. I know our god Lahari got you and mommy in his hands so I'm defiantly at peace and soon we shall all meet. Love SHA-DEAH.

To the Carpenter Family, Annette, Antwan & Antonio Eskew family. Penny was a loving daughter,sister, friend, mother, aunt & cousin that will truly be missed. The poem that comes to me for Penny is "Miss Me & Let Me Go". Penny is in the best place-smiling down on us with our Father. Praying for God's grace, peace, comfort & love during this time of transition.

Teresa, Sharon, Greg and Lillian,
The word of God said,"...to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord." When I saw Penny Friday evening, she was so happy, talking about her upcoming birthday in December, turning 50, talking about her brother Greg being in town and coming back to help celebrate her birthday. On the way to the store and on the way back, we talked about a little of everything. So we I received a call Sunday morning, I was in total disbelief. Within 24 hours, Penny took flight to be her Heavenly Father. Even when I said "good bye" to her as she exit my car, she was beaming with excitment about things to come. But we know in life that our plans may change, and can sometimes change very abrutly. I cannot image the hurt you feel. Teresa and Sharon, everyone on Stambaugh and Elwood knew you sisters were very close and love each other dearly. It was very rare that we saw one of you, most times you all were together. Please know I have been praying for you all and Lillian since hearing the news. Also, if you need me, I will make myself available to you.
Love,
Aretha Buffy Tanner

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
