    Sorry for her passing, she was such a nice person. A happy person. She will leave an empty void.

    Penny will be sorely missed. She was a very caring person and so excited to be a grandmother! I will miss her stories of grandchildren, nieces and nephews! Museum stance will always have a special meaning for me. Prayers for all of you.

    My condolences to all the family on Penny’s passing; she will be sorely missed by anyone who was blessed to know her. I will always remember her smiling face from seeing her at the early Sunday Mass at the Cathedral in Springfield, as well as my interactions with her at ISBE. May the angels rise to greet her and lead her to Paradise; may she rest now in the arms of her loving Savior; and may God grant each of you peace in this sad time. You will be our prayers.
