Penelope Ann Gerbode

I used to help Steve and Penny with the boys in Marin County, when their pair went back to Germany I believe for a couple months. I was your mother friend, seamstress, and friend of your dad, Donald Simon. I remember taking Ian and Kevin to Montessori school and the playground. I lived in their pool house for a couple months and made crêpes for the boys! I have tried to reach out to the boys over the years by way of Google, but never could find anyone. My phone number is 419-2 34-6786 and...

I miss you Pen. Your fierce grit is something I looked forward to with enthusiasm every time we met. I will always treasure our fun times at "The Yard" - your Giant's fandom was unparalleled. Whether at a game or hanging with you and "the girls" in the back yard, your absence has left a hole. BUT, your spirit lives on in your kids - some more of my favorite folks. RIP and see you again....

So sorry to hear of Penny's sudden passing....our condolences to Ian, Kevin, Matthew and families. Many happy memories from my nanny' days with the three of you....Penny always had a twinkle in her eye and infectious laugh; she was kind, thoughtful, and a true friend....
Penny will be sorely missed by all.....
May she rest peacefully.

Carol, Dean, Amelia and Will
