Oh Penny... you've left us too soon... but what will always remain will be your love, funny jokes, and a ton of memories to be cherised forever. We love you Penny!

I'm going to miss many, many things about Penny, but the thing I will miss the most is hearing her voice on the other end EVERY TIME we talked say, "Hi My Rica! Wat U doin, Friend?" and then that giggle. We shared many, many laughs and tears together. She was one of my bestest friends (as we would say). It's a true blessing and honor that someone as wonderful, kind and strong as her was a part of my life. She has taught me strength, compassion, and to never give up...I will miss you, my friend. I pray that God's peace be with Dave, Lecia (Michael), Ryan and those gorgeous little grandbabies she bragged about so much. And to the rest of her friends and family. I will find comfort knowing that my friend is no longer in pain and watching over us.
