To Penny's family: My heart goes out to you in this time of sorrow. While I never met Penny 'face to face' we had a long-standing communication via phone and email dating back to her diagnosis in 2001. I always admired Penny's 'glass half full' attitude toward life. She was always there with a word of encouragement for others no matter her own circumstances. Penny will be sorely missed by her inflammatory breast cancer friends. May you each find strength, hope and peace to face the days ahead.

Dear Laurie:
Your Mom was an inspiration. Among her many contributions to the Greenwich community, she helped students like my my brother gain the skills and confidence needed to lead fully independent lives. For all the GARC families touched by Mrs. Whitmore's grit and generosity, I thank you.
Take care,
-Kate

I, like Gayla, feel like I have lost a friend. My connection goes one step further in that my name is also Penny and we both battled Inflammatory Breast Cancer. I was diagnosed a year after Penny and she helped me with my battle. I am so sorry for your loss and will keep Penny and all of you in my prayers, as I do all my IBC family.

I am so saddened to hear of Penny's death. She was diagnosed with ibc shortly after I was and we were on the online support lists together. I feel like I have lost a good friend, even though I never met her personally. My prayer is that you, her family, will be comforted by God as you learn to live you lives without her. I am so sorry that you have lost Penny.

So sorry to hear the news of your mom's death. She was a professional volunteer, and a great friend to our son, Andrew.

Laurie, George and Stephen,
Sarah notified Phil and me of your mother's death. We are in England and unable to attend the memorial service on Friday. We shall be thinking of you all - and Skip - and want you to know that you are in our prayers. Penny was a shining example to all of us of the spirit of living and giving. I am just so pleased she had those seven years to get to know and love her six grandchildren and for them to know and love her in return. I shall be in touch when we return next week. May the Peace of the Lord be with you all. Kathy (and Phil)
