A beautiful angel is all that is here
Saying O’Lord please leave me here
Not ready to leave but has to go
Wants to go back but God&Grandpa say no!
Two son’s,Grandchildren(great)& friends
A meaningful life that suddenly ends
And angel is what she was meant to be
Now think of all that she can see
Watching over her family night and day
Saying I love you in her own special way
In the night we sleep and in the day we cry
While she watches us all from her star in the sky
Love, Christy
** I Love you all **

I’ll miss her cheery greeting even if she wasn’t feeling all that good. Every time I see a pen, I’ll remember her Christmas mug-o-pens. Good people are never forgotten.
I always remember Penny when I worked at Sears with her, she was such a jolly friendly person always nice to everyone. God Bless all of her family.
