I share the sorrow you all are feeling...I met Penny through Rob in 1974, in 7th grade...she was a very warmhearted mom, and was always happy to see any of robs friends. One day she asked me if I wanted to "be a villager", teasing about being in "Fiddler on the Roof" at St. Mary's..turned out to be one of my fondest memories, on top of Roy being the producer of the same...again, wonderful childhood memories of a very kind neighborhood mom....my prayers are with all of you...
