Is Penny at home now? I will be passing by early tomorrow morning and could drop off a donation.

She says that she will be leaving between 9 and 10 in the morning. She has to go to Ensenada tomorrow to pay for the cremation. Fortunately, a good
friend of Murray's is there to drive her.
Thank you --- Oh, if you visit the grandpas, they don't know yet. She wants to tell them herself as of now.

Firstly, I am so sorry for your loss Penny,and second, a heartfelt thanks to all who have helped Penny out in her time of need...I am sure more
donations will come in to help both her and her abuelos.
Every little bit helps amigos...so take the 5 minutes to pay forward some kindness via paypal.

Did Penny receive enough funds to cover her expenses? How is she doing? How did the grandpas take the news. Bless all that helped.

First of all, my apologies to everyone who has come forward to help. As she is not up to it yet, Penny asked me to tell everyone how truly grateful
she is and is quite humbled by all of it. I am late in posting this message--- my bad. She will personally thank everyone when she is up to it.
We communicate everyday, and it is an up and down battle right now. Some days are worse than others, but as always, time and more time is needed.
Bacquito, thank you for visiting. I will tell Penny you were there. She has been so worried about care for her grandpas, and people have also
responded in that way. One couple drove down from Rosarito to deliver a great donation and the local delagado also delivered a very nice donation.
It has definitely helped Penny feel a bit better knowing that they are not being forgotten.
The grandpas and the caretakers are there for her, and she is visiting them. Unfortunately, it appears that Nicanor, the blind gentleman is dying.
He is the one in one of Graham's pictures on page one where Penny is holding his chin, and I think tripledigitken also took his pictures. She took
that news quite hard.
Maron, her immediate needs were pretty much covered, but there will be more expenses and an OVER THE TOP donation is coming her way from another nomad
as I type. What is next, we don't know yet.
I would mention every nomad who has helped, but I am not sure about some as the pay-pal we were using is astrobaja's. And I would never mention
names without permission. Eventually, we will try to get it figured out as she will want to thank everyone individually when she is up to doing so.
But please know, that she is really overwhelmed at the help that has come from here and from Talk Baja.
Penny does advise people not to die in Baja as the paper work is huge and without immediate cash, they hang on to the body and would not let her even
say good-bye until the initial fees were paid. Also, while we have never done so before, when we travel in Mexico we will carry a certified copy of
our marriage license just in case something was to happen. It is a must have document.
I need to end this message for now with just saying what wonderful, genuine and amazing people the astrobaja's are. In every way possible, they have
been there for Penny, including during her darkest hour along with a couple of non-nomads.
And once again, those who have stepped up in different ways are just great people. We miss our friend Murray very much and he was a lot like Penny,
he gave it all to others in need.
And Penny would not be happy with me if I didn't say, please don't forget her grandpas.
Thank you, again, this should have been posted sooner.
