Our deepest condolences to the family during this saddened time. Mrs. Penn was an amazing woman and will be missed by many who knew her. It seems as one of the greatest of the "Great Trees" has fallen. She gave guidance, wisdom, inspiration, love, her time, her presence, and so much more to others. This applied not just to her biological children, but to others she brought into her life. We will treasure the special memories of listening to her talk about her generation, including our mom, aunts, cousins and others. It is a rare gift to have had the privilege to know Mrs. Penn who lived more than a Century (104 years & 8 months). May the wonderful memories you made together give you Peace, Comfort, and Joy.
My sincere condolences to the Penn Family. Please find peace in knowing that God understands our grief and that He cares- 1 Peter 5: 6 & 7.
Thinking of you with deepest sympathy and hoping each new tomorrow will bring you comfort and peace. Yuntrill (Sandy) Watters Felton and Family
