Stay Gold by Robert Frost
Nature’s first green is Gold
Her heart is hue to hold
Her early leaf’s a flower
But only so an hour
Then leaf subsides to leaf
So Eden sank to grief
So dawn goes down to day
Nothing gold can stay
I love this poem…it is so true. We are thinking of you guys. Laugh, Cry, Love, Hug. xoxo

Michael and Richard,
Bill and I are so sorry to hear of Penny’s passing. We knew and loved her when we all lived in Westerlo, many years ago. She and I were great friends and you boys and our children spent lots of time together. I met your baseball loving grandmother also, and it was easy to see where your mom got her great sense of humor! Penny loved you boys dearly and I am sure she was a super grandmother. She was a very giving, caring person and I am glad she touched my life.
She is in our prayers, as are you and your families.

To Penny’s Family; I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Please accept my heartfelt condolences to you all. It was good to visit with Penny at Theresa’s graduation party (How many years ago, already?) leaving me with memories of good times. I’m sure Penny will be watching over her loved ones and when you feel a breeze and there is no wind or someone touches you, but nobody is there, you’ll know its Penny.
Peace and Prayers, Pat
