I remember sitting in your lap and steering your Fiat going down the freeway in So Cal. The roadtrip we took going up to Yreka when I was seven, catching my first fish (trout), and you showing me how to clean and cook it. You were always so down to earth, tell it like it is, and I always loved that about you. I love you always Aunt Penny

Penny was unique, funny, quirky sometimes stubborn. She told old bad cheesy jokes, and loved little kids. Penny was always ready to hit the casino, usually winning. I will miss her every day. She had a generous heart.
I love you big Sis!!!
See you later.

I'll always remember my first memory of Aunt Penny, when she sang the "Gopher Guts" song and the smile and laughter that followed. Nothing but fond memories, will miss her.
