Karen, I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. I have known "Penny" (that's what we called her at work) since 1967. I worked with her at St. Vincent, the last unit being the G.I. Lab. She was a dear lady and a good friend.
Again my heart felt condolences,
Annette Lilly
I have known the Pennington family many years, having attended church with them. I always admired Jettie. She was always so perfectly dressed. I am so sorry for your loss, but know well she has reached her heavenly reward and is truly happy.
Condolences to the family. Sister Jettie was in my Sunday School class. She sat on the first row and usually the first one in the room. It was such an honor to be her teacher. Such a sweet lady. May our Lord Jesus Christ comfort you in this time of sorrow.
My thoughts and prayers are with you both Karen and Kandice. Aunt Jettie was so special to me and loved her so.
