I never had the chance to know you Penny, but I felt your bright smile, sparkling eyes and caring heart through your daughter, Erin. I know you touched the hearts of many and left your mark in the minds and hearts of those who were close to you. Over the years, I came to know you as a brave warrior who suffered silently, relished joy and fought the good battle. I am so grateful Erin and Mark were able to move and be near to you this past year. I wish I could have visited and had a chance to meet you and see your caring heart in action. I was blessed as you came to life through their tender and humorous stories as they shared their love for you. I am so grateful! I see your love and warmth in Erin, Mark and the kids. You brought joy and love to many. May Christ's Peace be yours Penny as we eagerly wait to reunite in heaven.
Holding you all in my heart and lifting you up in prayer.
xoxo

Penny was a wonderful person who was always gracious, kind and warm. I was blessed to know her, to have her in my life and have many fond memories. She touched many lives improving them and gave of herself in so many little ways. She gave me her most amazing daughter, my bride, who loved her deeply. I will miss Penny who I also came to know as "Mom". May she be forever in the Peace of Christ in heaven looking down on us until we may see her again.

May God raise you up on eagles wings,
Take you to the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun and
Hold you in the palm of His hand.

Tara, Erin, Meghan, Jesse, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. I remember our mom's working together at Walmart and sitting in the breakroom with them, they were a hoot together! Now I guess they can share some much deserved laughter in heaven. Keep all those memories close to your hearts and she will forever be with you!!
God Bless You All!!
