From Doreen Usher on 17/06/2006

Penny, how do you live with a broken heart the 27th of May and December 9th 2005, the worst 2 dates in my life, I've had some knocks in my life but nothing as bad as these dates my bairn. Losing you, i still can't believe it's happened, Friday May 27th 2005 waiting for the results of the blood test, your Dad Ray, had to take you to the RVI. I was at home, when the phone rang and your Mam, screaming Mam get here now. I jumped in the car, when I got there your Dad was getting out of his car, I had no idea what was going on, untill he said Penny is in the house, she's taken it alright Doreen, all she's bothered about is losing her hair. I said Cancer, yes Penny has leukaemia, I ran into the house Penny was on the sofa, I cuddled her and told her, believe me nothing is going to happen to you. Penny told me she had dreamt the night before the doctors would tell her she had leukaemia. I've still got your 3 text pet which is on my phone they'll never leave me. Its a living hell Penny without you in this life for all of us Mam Denise, Dad Ray and your little sister Sandy, she misses you something awful Penny. Sandy will write her own message, when she comes to terms with it, because Sandy loves you very much Penny and she knows she's lost her big sister and it's so hard without you. Penny you are beautiful not only on the outside but the inside. your a hard act to follow my love. I believe in god and I know we will meet again. Love never dies, love you forever Penny NANA Doreen Usher.
