“Rick and Family,
We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Penni seemed to always enjoy life and her family. We didn't know her for long (not long enough) but really liked her for her love of life, giving, and perseverance. We always enjoyed
seeing her at the Gold Rush events and how she jumped right in to do her part. She was a very special person and is in a very special place now.

Remember all of the great times as they will help you heal. Our hearts are with you, prayers are for you and our
thoughts are of you.

Always,
Jim and Glenda
Boggess

“To the family of my dear friend Penni,
We were all so lucky to have had her in our lives, from her small stature to her soft voice, she seemed tiny and frail but was far from it. Penni was one of the kindest, most lovingly people I have ever known and always had a smile and kind word for everyone, she was almost too special for this world. Penni is now at peace with our lovingly father and I'm sure she is smiling down on us all and will be waiting to greet us when we are called to leave this world and enter heaven.
God bless you all,
Cheryl Barker”
