    We are glad that we had the chance to know Penny, she was a joy to be around, I know she went through a battle with her cancer, and it was hard for the family to see her suffer, but now she is in a better place where she will no longer had the pain and suffering she had before. We pray God will give all of you strength and comfort to get through this, and be there for each other.
    Praying for all of you, be strong, and give God the thanks for the peace and comfort that He provides.
    Love Drinkut’s
