I did not know you personally but beautiful sweet girl you have made an impact on my life. I got to know you through your family on Instagram. Your beautiful blue eyes always put a smile on my face. To your family, I know there's no words to take away your sadness and feeling of loss, but I hope you can take comfort in knowing that your daughter was a gift from god who I'm sure changed so many lives in her short time. Her fight was something to be admired and her braveness and courage will never be forgotten. Rest in Paradise sweet angel. One day we will all live together in peace.

Like so many I have never met you or your family but came across your instagram page a few months ago. Penelope stole my heart with her big blue eyes and my heart broke when I learned of her passing. I will miss seeing her sweet face and she will always be remembered. Praying for your family everyday.

I am deeply sorry for your loss. As my brain searches for understanding at this tragedy, I'm reminded of what a very wise woman told me "The brain is the wrong organ for the job". This is clearly a matter of the heart. It is my heart that first connected to Penelope and to your family. It is my heart that breaks for you now. Penelope and your whole family will be in my heart always. Holding you in the light dear Davis family. Penelope has inspired so much love, more than most do in a much longer lifetime. I hope you find some comfort in that. I don't know any of you personally, but in my own way I will miss sweet Penelope. Praying for you every day.

I can't imagine the pain of losing a child, especially one SO young. It hardly seems fair that this Beautiful child had to endure this illness and it's treatment....Only to have it turn out so very sadly. I know there are NO words that will help ease the Heartache of this loss...But she DID touch the Lives of SO many. I thank you for sharing your Daughter with us, given you had her for such a short time. Her sweet little face is one I will Always remember...I do hope the memories of those quiet times you had with her, gives you peace in the coming days, weeks, and years. Your Lil Miss was an incredibly brave Little soul. Your sorrow, is Shared....

I never had the pleasure of meeting sweet Penny but she definitely touched my life. She was such a brave and strong little girl. I have thought about her every day and cried also. I am so so sorry for your loss. Please try to find some peace knowing that she is in heaven pain free and smiling as she looks into Jesus face and you will see her again one day.

I keep going over in my head what exactly I want to write, but nothing seems right... there are no words. Although I didn't have the pleasure of meeting precious Penelope, my soul knows her. I have been following her fight... her eyes, her smile, her face, her voice... I am connected. I am overwhelmed with sadness that the world has been robbed of her light. She is a sweet little miracle who was taken way too soon. My heart aches for the loss of your baby girl.
My family believes that after someone passes they will send butterflies to stay connected to loved ones. I have lost many family members, and they have all sent butterflies. Especially my late mother, Eileen. So, when you see a butterfly, know that it is Penelope letting you know that she is still with you. She will always be with you.
When I commented on FB, I directed them to precious Penelope. So this will be the last one:
You have fought hard little one and everyone is so proud of you. You have touched my heart and I want to thank you for that. Now that you have your wings, you can fly as high as you want to baby girl and rest easy with no pain. You will be greatly missed by thousands of people who love you and we will be looking for your butterflies.
You have my deepest sympathy Shannon, Ben, Chayse and Parker. You will always be in my thoughts.
Condolences,
Tracey Williams

To Ben and Shannon,
Although I have never met you, I feel I know you through Penelope. She brightened my day each morning when I logged onto Fb, I have never met someone so young who inspired people just with her smile, gorgeous eyes and amazing energy. I have lost 5 aunts and uncles in the last 15 years and my dad 2 years ago to cancer, it is a terrible disease. Penelope smiled through her fight and I know if we take a page out of her little book and face each day with a smile and a giggle, each day will be better than the day before, because life is too short to worry about the small stuff. Ben and Shannon, I live in South Africa and send all my love and strength to you and your family today.
Lots of love
Denalee

I'm shedding some tears for Penelope today. I've been heartbroken all week. I cannot imagine what you feel even if I, who has not had the pleasure of meeting her, feels this way. I will miss rooting for her fight. And seeing her cute pictures. I remember when I first saw Penelope's pic on a cloth diaper group and from then on I was smitten. I know Penelope is watching over you <3 (hugs) I'm so sorry for your loss.
