Last, but certainly not least, we must acknowledge the generosity of so many people who made meals, brought flowers, called to check up on us or sent gift cards. The support shown to us by our co-workers and the company we work for, HCPro, Inc, was  and continues to be incredible. The coworkers at Penney's former employer, the Massachusetts General Hospital North Shore Cancer Center, have been incredibly supportive.

We must also not forget the thirteen-hundred (1300) plus people who stood in the rain on the night of Penney's wake for over an hour to pay their respects. That was a truly humbling experience for Penny and Dave.
