To the Family,
My heart is sadden, Penny was my supervisor at Gulf Oil back in 1970 and from that point on we remained friends and always kept in touch . I will truly miss her phone calls and cards. She was such a caring and kind person. You all have my deepest sympathy
We are so very heartbroken to lose our dear sweet Penny. I can't begin to you how much we will miss her smile, her kindness, her endless generosity, and her wonderful humor. She was so much like a 'second momma', who's company we could always look forward to when coming back home to Arkansas.
Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers are with you Harvey, Camella, and all of Penny's wonderful extended family. She loved you all so dearly and was so proud of you all. God bless you for the loving care you've always provided for her.
Ms. Penny was a wonderful neighbor. I will miss seeing her out in her yard and enjoying the outdoors. The memories of her I will cherish. She was always smiling, kind, and thoughtful. She loved to see our children and they will miss Ms. Penny also. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family.
Such a sweet lady! Our thoughts and prayers are with each one of you!
It was a good day for the Leebrick/Atterbury family when Penny married Uncle Fred. She was a wonderful wife, sister, sister-in-law to Louise and aunt to us. We have many wonderful memories from the times she spent with our family. Penny was always kind, capable and very caring. We want to express our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to Harvey, Camella and the rest of Penny's extended family in Arkansas who have taken such good care of her. Our thoughts are with you all. Mary, Alan & Louise
