Penny and Jim, our deepest condolences to you and your family during this difficult time. We wish there was a way to ease the pain that you and your family are going though, but know that isn’t possible. We loved your mom and she will always be remembered. Please know that we are here to support and be a shoulder to lean on, if needed. Our prayers are with you and your family.
Aunt Lacine I was fortunate to know you and Uncle Jack when I was a young girl I admired and loved you both. I’m thankful that you both loved me as you did. May you rest well now that you’ve passed. I’ll always know my love for you. May our God hold you in the palm of His hand. Jim and Penny, I’m sorry for your loss, but happy that you enjoyed so many years with your mom.
Penny you and your entire family have my deepest condolence. I will always cherish our memories and her warm welcoming smile. ❤️ She made me a doll and I still have that doll to this day. Get your rest my dear.
To all of the family and friends, my condolences. I know she is looking down flapping her big beautiful wings, holding all of you. Know she has G and Jackie by her sides. Sending all of my love and strength to get you through this time. I love you all!!
