My deepest condolences to the family, she will be missed. with Love Larry Little

My husband (Heath) and Penny worked together at KAT and immediately struck up a friendship. I, however, knew Penny through the work stories. I send our condolences to each family member, hoping all know that in Jehovahs eyes, she's sleeping right now, and in his memory until that day he awakes all those in the memorial tomb. (John 5:28).

So sorry for your loss I will be praying for your family during this time.
