My Dear Penny,
You gave me love, laughter, and everlasting memories.
We were sisters of the heart, and soul.You wrote me a letter to let me know how blessed you were to have
married my brother Luke and you received me as a sister because yours had to leave this earth so young.
I am the one who was truly blessed to have been touched by an angel. Rest in peace my sister, Luke, Samantha, Nicholas, and the rest of your family will carry on for you. In your letter you also said, “If we lived closer you and I would be inseparable”. Just wanted you to know that distance between this Earth and eternity will not change our everlasting bond.
Love Ilene

Dear Samantha and Nicholas,
Hannah and I were shocked to read about your mom in the paper.
She was a great teacher and a wonderful mom who loved you both dearly. We had some fun times together in the past. You are in our thoughts and prayers! Karen & Hannah Stuyt

Dearest Penny..You are so very special..You will remain in our hearts for your smile, your laughter, your love of your family. Although it is hard right now , it will be the memories of our times spent together..your pride in your famity, your devotion to your mom and dad and your love for Disneyland that will help us push away the pain and bring the smiles back again each time we think of you.
Whe your Nick and Sam called me last night.. as sad as I was, I couldn't help but think how proud you would be of your children's strength and love in making sure we would be ther to honor their beautiful mother, You did good girl!
Enjoy Heaven, I hear it's right up there with Disney land..just fewer gift stores...Love you lots, Phyllis and Marissa
