Such a sweet lady. Loved to see her walking Rocky and we would chat about the kids. Peace to Penny
Growing up, we had many happy family parties with all fifteen cousins running through one of our aunts’ or uncles’ homes. Penny was part of that fun and of many of our visits to Grandma Birdie’s house when Uncle Ed and Aunt Dee lived upstairs. There were also vacations at Lake Dellavin when our families stayed at resorts on different sides of the lake. Our five children were close in age to their five, which only added to the fun and chaos. I’m sure there were many times all the adults wished we were quieter!
Our family will keep Penny in our prayers along with her family during this difficult time. Bless you all.
May God bless and comfort the Simoncelli family,Our prayers our with you!!
