Dear Danny and kids, our hearts are breaking for you all. Penny was such a beautiful person inside and out! She always went out of her way to make time to come see me when I was in NY and always brought something yummy she had baked. Her loving personality has had a great and lasting impact on many people. Please know we are sending prayers and love from AZ. May you find the comfort in Phil 4:6-7 to calm your heart.

Lombardo family from Myrtle Beach we don’t know you but we know your family here. They have become our family. When they are hurting we are too. So sorry for your loss. What a beautiful lady you lost in Penny
Words can’t express kindness and love Penny brought to all she touched. She was a mother , friend, teacher, Dan’s love . Her brightness brought happiness wherever she went . Her memory brings warmth. Than you Penny for your life . We will see her if we are as loving as her to all and our creator Jehovah. The Schisel
Our deep love and sympathy go out to all with this loss of our dear Penny. Have known the families for years and know she will be missed. She knew and perhaps pondered this thought from Job 14:15 “you will call and I will answer” what a blessing we have to have a deep rourted faith in the ressurection.
Our love, thoughts and prayers are with you
