Alex and family,
I was very sorry to hear about your mother. As your family grows,may you remember all the wonderful things she taught you. She was always so supportive of your endeavors. May she rest in peace and peace be with you and your family.
We want to express our sincere condolences. Penny was always gracious to us and especially kind to Emily. We will miss her.
We are very sorry for the loss of Penny from the world. We remember her as a kind and gentle friend who left too soon.
So sorry to learn of Penny’s passing. My condolences to Bruce and family. Good memories of Fairmount, Truxton.
I was just doing some online research to locate Penny. I have been wanting to thank her for saving my life. I was in so much inner pain at a young age and I never thought that I would be able to find happiness. My interactions with Penny were pivotal in my life. I can trace the beginnings of my happiness and light to the first time we met. She has had more of a positive impact on me than anyone before or since. I am a successful business owner with a loving family and to come from poverty and torture to where I am today wouldn’t have ever been possible without her. I have long desired to thank Penny for everything positive in my life. My deepest condolences go out to the family. I can’t emagine my life today withou her help. I wish there were more people in the world like Penny.
