I only knew Penny for a few years so never in her "prime" i.e. full of life and health.
What I'll remember is her quiet faith and gentle ways. Softly spoken, humbly confident and creatively talented, Penny was one of a kind.
It was a joy to spend a few memorable times with her over Thanksgiving and Christmas.
She'll be remembered fondly, and I'll look forward to meeting the "never been more alive" Penny when we join her in Heaven.Janene Buckley-Ala

Penny was a joy to her parents, siblings, family and friends. I believe she was a joy to her Savior as well.

My tender thoughts & sympathy. Very sad to hear. I can still picture Penny on her dog walks and always appreciated her quiet dignity when we had a chat. π

There is a another hole in my life, this one is pretty big. I don't think there are many sisters like Penny, who taught me so many things. Penny was quiet and more reserved than me, but we still had a lot to chat about and did so much. One of my very first memories is of sitting on her lap, snuggled in as she read me a story. Her strength of character, her love of life and her some what stubbornness got her through so much. Especially the trip to the US last month, and through her illness. But most of all she taught me, by her example, what it means to have a deep faith in God. The most important lesson she could ever teach me. She is now completely healed, full of life once more and no longer in pain, and walking and talking Jesus. Now I have to figure out how to live a new normal without her. Love you very much Penny π
