So sad to learn about our beautiful and kind Penny passing. Memory eternal to our special Greek angel. I loved and respected her dearly as a very kind, sincere and giving lady. So delighted she saw our special group and Xmas decorations at Masonic Village prior to God taking her. We shared birthday cake together too!
Penny taught me the Greek language via lessons and I taught her to play Mahjongg. I hope she plays in Heaven too! She will be missed! Love ! Rose

My sincerest sympathies to Penny’s family on her passing. I was at a funeral today for a cousin in Pittsburgh when I learned. The priest had cupped his hands reminding us of an insurance ad, saying how cousin Connie was now in the loving hands of the Lord. Right away I thought of Penny and her last hug.
If anyone was guaranteed a fast track via God’s hands, it’s Penny! She loved our Lord Savior and served him until the end. Rest assured she’s in God’s loving hands.
Talking about hands, how thrilled we were when Penny briefly came to say “hello!” to us when she came back “from the Hill.”
She said, “Come here, Mim, and give me a hug.” How I loved feeling her sincere hands and arms wrap around me.
Special love to Sam and Judy who took such loving care of her.
She was always in good hands with her loving relatives here on Earth. Now she’s in the very best hands in Heaven! Memory eternal dear Mahjongg Champ! We always saved a seat for you, hoping you’d soon come back. Sretan put! Lucky journey to Heaven. Memory eternal. Vjecnaja pamjat.
My deepest sympathy . Penny was a beautiful and loving woman . Rest in peace .
Prayers for the loss of Penny. She was wonderful and loving and I feel grateful to have known her.
