We met Penny through relay and the event simply will not be the same without her. Penny always commended the committee on being the heart of the event but in all honesty if we were the heart, people like Penny are the life blood that keep us pumping. Nothing was too much and she threw her hand up to everything. We’ve never met someone so determined. We will miss her dearly and remember her fondly.
