We do not need a special day
Courtney Ann Graham Donnell
To bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you
Are very hard to find.

Each morning we awake,
We know that you are gone
And no one knows the heartache
As we try to carry on...

Our heart aches with sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it means to lose you
No one will ever know.

Our thoughts are always with you,
Your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still...

There will always be a heartache,
And often a silent tear,
But always a precious memory
Of the days when you were here.

If tears could make a staircase,
And heartache make a lane,
We'd walk a path to heaven
And bring you home again.

We hold you close to our hearts,
And there you will remain,
To walk with us through our lives
Until we meet again.

Our Oxford’63 chain is broken now,
And nothing seems the same
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again ❤️

>> Thank you Claudia. I did not receive the KO message. I remember Penni well. We were among the few in Chemistry class together. I see her wonderful red hair, her wit with a sly smile. I found her truly funny in the way that only dry humor can be. As she dealt with the constant challenge of breathing, I saw what day-in, day-out bravery looks like.
