I am very sadden to learn of the loss of Penny. While I only knew Penny from a distance, I very much enjoyed her communication(s) and spirit of life, living and being. Earlier this year, Penny was happy to submit her ovarian cancer story for publication on the Ontario Women's Health Network. It can be found at: http://www.owhn.on.ca/ebulletin_winter_2004.html#n. Although for only a short period of time, Penny also joined our online ovarian cancer support group (http://www.acor.org) and I do know that her contributions are remembered with fondness. A life well lived and one of which I admired and respected. - Posted by: Sandi Pniauskas (Acquaintance) on: Dec 21, 2005
