“Ah Penny...you slipped away and I didn't know it. We spent a lot of hours on our reunions from WAHS and all of it was laughter and light. Lots of memories wrapped up in friends and acquaintances we knew from high school and life. I know your angels guided you home and I wish you a happy return to where we all came from. Blessings and Happy Trails girl. Hugs. Joe Ray”
