Bridget, I am so sorry to hear about your mother, Penny's passing. She was such a happy, delightful person. We went to high school together. Just in case you don't remember who I am, I was one of your 5 year kindergarten teachers at Oakdale.

I am so sorry about Penny. I only found out today it was such a shock. She and Vicky E. were good friends of mine the last year or 2 of school. Penny will be missed. My deepest sympathy.
