I was just informed about Penny. I think of her often. Every time 4-H is mentioned Penny´s name is right beside it. She was so inspirational and I looked up to her for not only 4-H but her children. We were all blessed to have that little piece of her in our lives.

I am so sorry for your loss Stephanie. I must say that I never really knew your mother but I do remember meeting her a few times. I know she must have been quite a woman to have raised such a wonderful large family. Take care my old friend and love and peace to you and your family.
