My heart is broken. I watched Penny grow up and she babysat my daughter. She was a wonderful person.

We met thru our friend and I knew you were a special person right away. You were always nice to everyone you met and had a great laugh. You fought your battles with grace and dignity and so very very brave. Life might not have been fair to you but you always kept moving forward. Every Christmas I will remember you as my friend who became the angel. We will miss you Penny. Sending love and prayers to your family and friends.

Penny, I didn't have the privilege of getting to meet you in person but I know how much of an amazing person you were. You made me the most adorable lime green coasters and Cheryl gave them to me in New Jersey. You had a heart of gold and I just want to say you will be truly missed, I am sending prayers and thoughts to everyone who's heart and life you've touched.
