Todd Penny & Family,

I was deeply saddened to hear about Catherine’s passing. I will always remember her for the way she loved her son, her smiles, the joking voices she’s used when leaving me messages, her helpfulness, and her beauty. She will be truly missed. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. I pray that you will find comfort under God’s loving hand.
