I don’t really have a story, I have feelings. I miss Penny so much some days it feels like my heart will break in half. I am her friend with the traumatic brain injury I apparently wasn’t in the loop when Penny got sick.  I was in brain injury rehab at the time and I’m not sure she wanted to upset my recovery. When a friend told me they were putting Penny on a ventilator I was like I didn’t even know she was sick!! That friend was like it’s been on facebook that she was sick in the hospital. I was like Facebook is not my life I barely go on there if someone I know is sick or dying someone needs to call me!!! That’s what phones are for! Or hey shoot me a text Penny is in the hospital call her she may never leave 😔. Alas, I didn’t get to say goodbye to my friend of over 36 years because she was already on a ventilator by the time I found out and could call. My life will never be the same because of that moment.
It doesn’t feel like a year has past. The pain and sadness are as fresh today as they were a year ago!! I think about her and if I’m alone I just want to cry! I miss you so much Penn! You were my rock, you gave me courage I never knew I had.  I can’t wait until we meet again in heaven! I love ❤️ you so!!
I was going to a party with Tina at some lady name Penny‘s house. When I walked in and met her she pretty much scared the shit out of me. Penny was the kind of person who could definitely take charge of a room. She was the only one who ever got away with calling me Missy. I hate that nickname bad childhood memories but she always called me Missy and she’s the one that got away with it lol. We were friends till the end after that night.

Started school in 1988, when I moved here against my will (still a minor)lol, met and made friends with Tina (Johnson) Young in high school and a week later she introduced me to Penny. First, Penny and I lost Tina my heart broke into a thousand pieces. Now, I’ve lost you Penny and my heart has broken into a million pieces. I have lost my two best friends I’ve known longer than anyone in Michigan besides my family. They were the first friends I had when I moved here and were still my friends when they left this earth, Penny, my love, I will love you forever and for always! ❤️🥺❤️🥺
Will miss you Penny.  I could always count on you for some laughs and a fun meal    You will be missed.

Penny, I only got to meet you a handful of times but we talked many more than that you did an excellent job raising your children to be the wonderful people they are you were taken from us all too soon and for that we are all sad, but we know you are looking down on all of us especially your children you will forever be loved and you will always be missed their lives won't be the same without you, you were an amazing person and I'm so sorry for what happened
Penny you had came to dayshift for a little while in 2021 and I feel like I got to know you a little bit better. I'm greatful for that. You were always willing to help me if I had questions on certain things or needing some advice. Thank you for that. It was nice talking about random stuff as well. You didn't take any crap and you were willing to stand up for people. (I liked that about you)You were a strong woman who loved her family. Rest in peace.
