Tammy & family:
Your mom was one of the first faces I saw my first day at Heritage Care Center. 23+ years later, her beautiful smile was still there when I retired. Over the years, her loving spirit and enthusiasm for life was evident in everything she did. The hundreds of residents whose lives she touched, were blessed for her presence in their lives. And I was blessed to call her friend!! May God bring you peace and comfort in the loving memories you have.
Penny I will so miss you. Meeting in church many years ago the light of your eyes and smile of your ♥️ grew a loving stedfast forever friendship for a lifetime and getting to know her family she loved so much.
Love and deepest Sympathy
Cherie♥️
Condolences to:
Sandra, Butch, Debbie and Rex.
I think I seen Penny maybe once at her job working for Heritage. For Penny to work there for that many years and know how hard of a worker she had to have been. They lost a worker of gold when she retired.
Would see her countless times having her kids and grandkids with her. I could tell that this made her very happy.
Now she is with Jesus and her loved ones.
God Bless all the family.
Cousin,
