Not sure what to say?

I still think of him and remember his smile. I am so glad he was a part of my life.

I am so truly heartbroken to hear of Pastor Penna's passing. Our family loved his inspirational and uplifting services at Genesis...and his magnificant humor. I have never heard any minister who's voice in singing the hymns...was like that of Elvis and Mario Lanza. He always took my breath away just listening to him sing and speak. So much so, I asked that he Baptiste my daughter and I...as I wanted him to be a part of our lives. Every Sunday...his services were packed..and sometimes it...

Dear Carrie, Andrea, and Lindsay,

We were very sad to hear of your father's passing. He was truly an amazing man and I feel honored to have had him as my pastor growing up at Genesis UMC. He married my husband and I and I will cherish that special time he shared with us forever. I will always remember your father's special hands and his ability to stop a baby from crying immediately just by holding them in his hands. Your family has always been special to me. I know your father...
