Add A Condolence

My condolences to Elder Penn and the family. I have fond memories of this beautiful woman of God. She was very kind to me as a teenager growing up in our neighborhood. I spent time with her family often during my high school years. I thank God for the opportunity to have visited her and Elder Penn last Summer. She had the opportunity to meet my daughter for the second time now in her 30's and to see me now in my 50's. She was the same sweet lady I knew back in the day, ever kind, and ever loving. She was truly an example in my life. I am blessed to have known her. My prayers are with you all.
Love, Diane and family
