Penny was always welcoming to me and always on the move. I loved her reactions to bugs, spiders or snakes. She would scream with the heebee-jeebees, flail her arms and stomp her feet. I would get such a laugh. She always thought the world of our family and we are blessed to have known her. She truly followed the commandment to love one another!! ~ Christopher DeBolt and Family, Midwest City, Oklahoma

Oh I don't even know where to begin. My mother was special, she cared very much for all of us. She would sometimes get on our last nerve because she cared so much to never give up on us and tell us the truth. She would lecture us and tell us when we were wrong but give us some of the beat advice anyone could give. I talked to my mom on a daily basis, never missed a day. Oh I don't know what I am going to do. I need her! I do promise however that I will do the very best I can to take care if my dad as I knew she wanted and to carry on the work and teach kids to carry in the work she began. I miss you so much mom and I LOVE YOU.. I wish I could have told you one last time how much you meant to me. I know you are with Nana and Bryan and many others that have gone on before but mostly Jesus.. Thank you for all. You done for us.. you were truly a great mom, and I can see in this time just how many lives you have touched and it makes me so proud that God chose me to be your daughter ~ Regina Armstrong, Sherman, Texas
