We love you mom and miss you your son Michael.
We Love you Mom! Thank you for all of your love and support and being the there for me always. I miss you everyday and hope you are at peace in Heaven.
I had the pleasure of knowing Penny for more than two decades. She was a most welcomed visitor in Atlanta, Ga and when she visited, all of Mike’s friends made sure they were there to make her feel at home! I remember her sense of humor and her great cooking! I’m going to miss her very much. I will always appreciate her for raising one of my best friends, Mike, to be one of the kindest, fairest, hardworking, and loyal individuals I have ever met! She was awesome, and loved!
