Penny Lee Bernstein Lambert

Seeing a laughing gull makes me think of Penny. Living in South Florida near the beach, I think of my dear friend often.

I thought of Penny this morning, when I saw gulls swirling over a blueberry field (in NJ). She would have been able to tell me so much about them! What a scientist! What a friend!

For years I kept in touch with Penny, Tom and Chris because Canal Fulton was on our way from New Jersey to Michigan. Arriving at their house was like coming home! We talked and ate pizza. I miss those days!

Still alive in my heart, Penny! Neighbor and close, loving, accepting, dear friend. You brought peace and joy to my heart when these were in short supply. I will always be thankful for your friendship.

Penny was my first girlfriend in Junior High in Millburn, NJ. I was not the best of boyfriends, yet she was the best of girlfriends.

We were truly saddened that we were not in town when we heard of her passing. Please know that if there is anything we can do...don't hesitate to ask. She was simple divine. Shalom...Fran, Herman, Asia, and Autumn Ransom

I loved her as a teacher and I will miss her class and how she always made them fun.

Im so sad to hear of this news. I will always remember Dr B, as she and I always had some kind of sassy comment for eachother. She inspired me so much and I was always searching for ways to talk to her outside of class because I found her so intriuging. I was always seeking out advice from her due to her great knowledge. She was my favorite prof and had set me on the path that Im now on. She was someone I will always hold dear to my heart. My thoughts go out to whomever knew her. She was a...
