Ms Penny Fisher and I shared a very special connection even though it was only for a short amount of time, it’s a connection I won’t forget . I was there for Ms.Fisher during an important time in her life where love, patience, empathy and support was needed most . I’ll never forget our conversations and little jokes that we shared . You made me realize how important it is to show love and be there for the ones we love most . You’ve become a memorable part of my journey of becoming a nurse . Im sad I couldn’t have met you earlier to see that special personality of yours and get to know you more but I am happy for the time we shared I came into your life when you needed me most and im happy to have been there for you till the very end ❤️ . To know you are finally at rest in everlasting peace May your soul be blessed and filled with love .
Love ,
Ari
Mom number 2 for me…thank you for always being there and available for help and guidance. I will miss you but so happy you are in Heaven and at peace now. Love you
Praying for your entire family, but especially Mark & Keith as I know how hard it is to lose your Mom. May the memories you have of her carry you through this difficult time. Janelle (Roberson)
I worked with your Mom in Circulation at the Downers Grove Public LIbrary. Your mom was a delight and always brightened my day.
She was so helpful and upbeat just a treasure. I am very sad for your family’s loss. I pray you will find peace of mind in her memories to help you with the grief you are feeling now. Kathy Moran
I am so sorry to hear about Penny! I really enjoyed working with her. She was a wonderful person! She will be missed by all that kniew her.
I am so sad to learn of Penny’s passing. I was fortunate enough to work with Penny at Downers Grove Public Library. Penny brought light, love, and unbelievable energy to our department and the library as a whole. I have fond memories of Penny sharing funny stories and memories, she had such a great sense of humor! We will miss Penny dearly.
I worked with Penny at the library as a shelver. It was a joy to know her. A caring, funny, hard working lady. We all missed her when she left DGPL. I’ll always remember she said she went sky diving once! I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. My condolences to the family/friends of Penny. 🙏 💕
