Dear Carmella and Family, I just want you to know how special Penny was to me. She was always making us laugh and most of the time you would see a smile on her sweet face. I wish I could have seen her more often. My family has been praying for you all. Please tell Larry that he is also in our prayers, as well as Brad, your sons and Amy. The only way I could deal with losing David and Daddy was trusting in God. He will always be there for you. It is hard to go through times like this but if we put our trust in God, He will give us strength, peace and hope for the day we will all be together again. I love you all very much. Love, Sharon McMinn

Carmella and family, there are no words to express how sorry that we are about the loss of your Mom. She was a sweet lady and she will be dearly missed. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. We love you.
Carmela and family. So sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Penny was an amazing lady and will be greatly missed.
Dear Larry, We are so sorry to hear about your loss. Penny was the sweetest, funniest and dearest lady to spend time with and call a friend. She called me sunshine, but she was sunshine to me. We spent many good times camping together and talking about the Lord around the campfire. She will certainly be missed by all who knew her but she is heavens gain. You and your family are in our prayers. We love you. Susan and Hudson

So sorry to hear of her passing. I worked with her at Park Ridge. She was a very kind lady and often talked lovingly about her family, especially the grandchildren. She also had a great sense of humor. I enjoyed working and talking with her. She will be missed.

I have thought about you a good many of a time over the years. Earl and family, I am so sorry to hear of Penny’s passing. Peace and strength be with you all.
