Chronicle Posts

 * To most people in Erie Harbor, Penny Gillis was just the sister of the town bogyman. Penny was more than a sister, though. She was a kind person. She was the only person who didn't laugh at me when I said I was a reporter. Penny was an outsider just because would do anything to help her brother. He told Penny that if she didn't bring drugs or money, he would make sure Sam didn't survive in jail. I wish every mystery could be solved. But in the case of Richie Fife, his story is far from over. If there's anything I've learned from Penny...it's that we should never give up on the people we love. We should make sacrifices for them. We should believe them, even if nobody else does. And we should never, ever stop looking for answers that can set them free. In the end, we should just...love them.
