Dear Zaepfel Family,
I just learned about Penny's passing. I am so sorry for your loss. She was a wonderful person, always smiling and always made myself and my brothers and sisters feel like her own kids. She will be missed greatly. Best memory was went all the neighborhood parents would meet at someone's house on the street for dessert and coffee or drinks.(we kids would sneak down our hallway and watch everyone, but we always got caught and were send back to bed) My thoughts and prayers are with you all. God Bless all. Love Rosemary Florea & (my Dad Joe Florea) from 1432 Seneca Creek Road.

I am saddened at the loss of my Aunt Penny. My thoughts and prayers go out to Uncle Carl and all my cousins. Some of my fondest memories are the times my mom took me and jimmy to visit Aunt Penny and her family in West Seneca. We caught a greyhound bus downtown that took us to the "Country". We loved it! It turns out I live very close to where she used to live.She always made us feel very welcome, and I never wanted to leave. A memory that has stayed with me during one of our visits, is Aunt Penny and her sisters sitting and watching Another World. They all loved that soap. I have missed her for a long time, and always will. My one regret was never getting to see one last time. I will cherish my memories of those days forever. All my love, Diane.
