BO PENNINGTON

My daughters, Jael and Krisina Lewis were very good friends with Bo. They met each other because of their involvement in the youth discussion group, Bo and Krisina were friends at SUU and she is now serving a mission in New York. She asked me to pass on her deepest sympathy and love for your family. She thought the world of Bo and will miss him. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I dont know you or your son Bo, but I do know the pain this has caused. This happened close to my parents home and really hit me hard as I lost my brother the same way almost 3 years ago. I'm very sorry for your loss.

Only the sting of pain can truly bring us back into a sense of reality. Bo was an upright man and whatever this twisted world did to make such a gentle soul leave it.....only with our faith can we come to terms with it.

I didn't know your son, but I am touched by his incredible life, mentioned in his obituary. We need more young people in this world, like him. I am impressed, that even though he had pain and headaches, he STILL accomplished so much. He was very prepared to meet his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. May your family be strengthened by his incredible life and the knowledge that you will, one day, be with him again.

Words cannot express our deep sympathy for the loss of your wonderful Bo James . Praise God In all things. John and Carole Clark. Las Vegas

Dear Pennington family,
In my three years at Alta, I never met anyone quite like your son. He was an inspiration to us all. It's been amazing, these past few days, to see how many lives he had touched through peoples messages to him on facebook. I wanted to do the same. To write him something not just for those of us who are on facebook, but for the whole world. So that they would know that such an amazing person was lost. I'm sure you're proud of your son, and what he was able to...

Dear Peningtons~
My condolences to you first of all.
I went to high school with Bo, and he was class president and SBO president of my year. I moved in the middle of my sophomore year, and he was one of the first people I met. I always loved his energy and the kindness he showed everyone, including myself, who was new entirely to Utah. It was plain as day to me that he's a genuinely good person, and I firmly believe that now he's watching over all of us, and pain free. I'll never...

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

Dear Pennington Family,

May you be comforted at this difficult time. Bo was my son Devin Gerrard's roommate at Southern Utah University. He was my son's
first college roommate. I think Bo came to Devin's Missionary Farewell in Evanston, Wyoming. May you find happiness in your memories of Bo.

Lots of love,

Brent and Susan, Dustin, Devin, Amanda, Danielle and Nicole Gerrard (Evanston, Wyoming)
