How do I put into words what you meant to me? I can’t, but I know you know.I miss you so much and the instant emptiness in my heart still burns with every memory I have if you. You have taught me so much,everything I needed to know to make it in this world, but you forgot to teach me how to live without you.I guess you had to wait until this day for this final lesson because even though I can’t see or hear you, I know your giving me strength and love. Your eyes were the very first eyes I seen when I came into this world and how blessed am I that mine and Todd’s eyes were that last you seen. Until I see you again Mom I Love You, and give Grandma a kiss from us all.

So sorry to hear about Penny. She was my foster mom for several years while I was a teenager. She helped turn my life around and showed lots of love and for everything I will be forever grateful! She was a wonderful foster mom! Hugs and prayers to her family during this difficult time.
