We will miss a Godly lady. Loved her so. The promise to hold as we know how she lived. John 14-1-4 Let not your heart be troubled. believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so,would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you ? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself,that where I am you may be also.and you know the way to where I am going. Penny will miss you but the life you lived I know will meet again

Our Deepest Sympathy to each member of this wonderful family. Yes, her last breath was here on earth and the next was In Heaven. She has now touched the face of her Savior. Our family have so many good memories of Penny. She was a very special lady and a Christian lady who loved her Lord. The times spent going to church with Penny and Tommy and their family at Community Baptist Church are memories that are a part of our heart. Praise God she will be missed but there's no more suffering and she's walking those streets of gold. LOVE AND PRAYERS
