Burokas family,
I am so sorry to hear about Penny. She and I worked together at The Prime Room over ten years ago. She was a great person and a good friend. It gives me comfort to know that she is now with God. She loved her family and always spoke of you with love in her heart. My thoughts and prayers you in this difficult time.
