Dear Jack, Cathy, Kristen and Jeb,
Penny was such a spectacular woman. Her energy, her joy for living, her kindness, and her friendship will be long remembered. I'm just now thinking of the WCC aerobics classes taught by Christina Abt, where we moved all the furniture and danced around...she was so great! And Penny was so supportive of my bad bowling while she just had a knack for throwing a strong direct hit. Penny was good at everything, and brought life and light to any gathering.
God bless you all!
