“I am sorry to hear of Penny’s passing. We went to school together. I particularly remember our first grade. The last time I saw her was after high school when I visited her in a Washington hospital after she had been involved in a bad accident. I lost touch after that. My sincere sympathy goes to the family. Dolly Milstead Sedwick”
“Georgia & Family, My deepest condolences to you and your family during this most difficult time. I pray that the Lord wraps his arms around you and provides you with strength as you remember all the cherished memories Penny brought to life. “
“Penny and I were classmates at Leonardtown…being the tallest of the girls in the class we were naturally drawn to each others company. I remember her whimsical smile and laugh. My blessings to you now. She will live on in all of you. Jill A. Hagen, Reston, VA”
“So very sorry to hear of Penny’s death. I went to school with her many years ago and we were friends. I have not seen her for a long time, but I will be praying for the family as you all go through this very difficult time.”
“Georgia, Linda & Family, Thinking of you and sending my deepest sympathy in your time of sorrow.”
“Dear Kristine – I was so saddened to learn of your mom’s passing. Even though you know she is at peace, it is still so hard to think of her being gone from your life. If you keep her memories alive, she will always be with you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Very sincerely, Laurel Hart”
“Kristine & family, I am so very sorry for your loss. Penny was one of the sweetest, spunkiest not to mention strongest women I know. I can’t think of anyone that could go through the hardships she has in the last few years yet never complain and always care more for others than herself. She would give you the shirt right off her back. I will miss her dearly. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Stay strong like your mom.”
“So sorry to hear of Penny’s passing, I have often thought of her over the years. We lost touch after High school as I moved out of state, but did ask about her over the years. I spent many a sleep over at her house and we had a lot of laughs. I will always remember her. My sympathy to her family.”
” Kris & Family…I just learned of your Mom’s passing today 11-24-09. My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead. May the good memories help you through each day. Our prayers are with you. Rest In Peace Penny!”
