Words were your gifts to us, words that turned us around and made us examine life a bit more from the Penzotti viewpoint, I loved playing Lala, she taught me so much. Thanks for writing her. xx

RIP, John. It was great to have you in our lives, our "Claire lives" and Chelsea Lobster lives, which wouldn't have been the same without you. Say hi to Marvin and Bill for us. See you on the other side.

Dear Dame John, I'm going to miss your daily wit on Facebook. I'm glad to have met you when you came to Lincoln with 5BHL. Always remembered.
My love to all those who are feeling the pain of your absense at this difficult time.

My sincerest condolences to the Penzotti family for your loss. I only knew of John Jr. through a mutual friend. Hopefully reading all the messages on here and on Facebook will give you some peace in knowing that John was loved by a lot of people, and will leave a hole in many hearts and lives. His memory will live on. May God and time bring you peace.

Johnny:
I miss you. I will always miss you but YOU will always be in my heart and whenever I feel blue I will always hear your voice in my head always saying the right thing to me, making everything brighter! You are now my "Angel" in Heaven. One day we will meet again. Love you John. xoxox Gina

John was a shining light to everyone who knew him. Brilliant, creative, a huge heart, quick wit and genuine kindness to all. He loved to laugh and always knew just the right things to say. My heart breaks for you all in your loss of John and your Dad. My love and prayers are with you, as you say goodbye to them, for now, as they are both Angels watching over you...

Indelible
Though I wish it so,
the night offers
no escape,
no turning,
from the truth
that you have
slipped from this life,
like the dawn
which slips silver
into day...
And the day
brilliant though it be,
holds not a candle
to the light extinguished
with your passing.
Tears are no balm
to my heart,
laid waste
And knowing
no other comfort,
I wrap myself
in thoughts of you,
indelible...
in the sharp sweet beauty
of your words,
and I join the doves
in mourning.

I will never know how to properly say 'goodbye', as you will never be gone from my life. You will be in my heart always, John.
My prayers to all of you, both family and freinds, who are also heartbroken at this time, most especially Carla and Paula. Although we have not met... John spoke of you often. Heartfelt hugs.
