Pete, I'm so sorry to hear of Penny's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I'm extremely sorry we couldn't be with you and your family at this most difficult time. We were traveling out of state and didn't find out until we got home. As a child, I have fond memories of Penny and how she was involved with many of the neighborhood children's activities. Penny will be deeply missed.

We were friends of the Brandsfields and played together as kids. We had some great times together. Sorry to see that Penny has passed on and joined much of her family. Though it is difficult for us to face this loss here on earth, there is great rejoicing in the heavenlies as the family joins together again! May the LORD GOD comfort you in your grief. AMEN

Dear Pete, Scott, John, Eddy, and Family:
We were so saddened to read Pennys obituary in the paper this morning. She was a loving, wife, excellent mother, and proud grandmother. Pete and Penny were a handsome couple and were excellent and very supportive May Goodrell parents when I was principal there. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you in the days that lie ahead. Rest assured that Penny is now in heaven and is smiling down upon you all as she truly loved her family.
