In years past, your mother always made me feel welcomed. Hopefully all the good memories with her will wash away the difficult times. She is at peace.

To the family of Josephine S. (Zachara) Penn. We don't always have to know a family in order to have empathy for them when they lose a loved one in death. I would like to extend my condolences to you at this difficult time. May the "God of all comfort", comfort you during this time. Our heavenly father is "near to those who are broken at heart". Also, God is there to sustain you through all your anxieties "because he cares for you".
