Condolences

Condolence From: Michael Randall
Condolence: I did not know that sweet Penny passed as I was overseas working as a military contractor at the time. Penny and I went back to when I met her at the YMCA I guess I was just 19 and home on leave from the military. We became fast friends and our lives crossed over many years, I Loved Her dearly and even though we didn't become a couple we had a special bond for each other which never waned. I came home to Asheville and visited her grave and left roses, such a quiet resting place for her. There are only a a few people whom come into your life if you are lucky as well blessed that leave an indelible mark forever. Penny did that not just in my heart and soul but in everything about my life. She made coming home to Asheville even the sweeter after I lost my Parent's, she always was there for me. Such a powerful spirit can "never" be erased, I'll see her again, just not yet, Love You Penny Bear...Rest Peacefully.... Love, Michael
