Buddy, we were so sorry to learn of Penny,s passing. I know she fought a hard battle. We only met her the one time last Memorial Day, but she seemed like a person that we would have enjoyed getting to know. So glad she had a close relationship with the Lord. Again, so sorry that you are all having to go thru this.

Our condolences to your loss. It is never what we think of as we go through life. You will have the memories you shared with Penny since the day you first met her. Those memories are important going forward. God's blessing and prayers to comfort you going forward. Surround yourself with your family.
I fully understand the situation as my wife has dementia and we had to place her in an assisted home over a year ago...

My deepest condolences to the entire Taylor family during this difficult time. Penny was a part of our daily lives growing up during the 80's in Sunnyside. Our daily lunchtime walks always included a visit to TW Market to be greeted by Penny's smiling face and a warm Torpedo sandwich. She knew us all by name and would go out of her way to greet every one of us with a warm smile and a friendly hello. Penny was always so very proud of her beautiful daughters and you could tell by the way she would glow when she spoke of them. She truly loved her family.
I know your hearts are heavy with grief right now, but let the memories you share as a family comfort you during this difficult time. While she may be gone now, her memory and her Legacy live on in each and every one of you and will for generations to come. May God comfort and embrace you during this most difficult time, but know that she will still be with you, watching over you and sending her love to you, each and every day until you meet again. Rest well with the angels Penny.
God bless you all...

So sweet, Brenda! Thanks for such kind words that describes my mom perfectly! It is amazing how many connections she made with all our classmates through her fun, personable interactions with them during our lunch time hour everyday during our school days! She had a heart of gold, gave many lunches away to any of our friends who may have forgotten their lunch money or simply didn't have any! She strived to lead by example and expected the same of others! I am so very proud to be her daughter! The only comfort that we cling to now is knowing that she is a much better place now and no longer suffering or in pain! We are deeply saddened and struggle to imagine life without her in the days to come!
Thanks again,
Lana

We are very sorry for loss, my heart aches for the Taylor’s. Your family and Penny have been a positive influence in our lives growing up in Sunnyside. Always there for us, laughing and giving us that much needed sound advice on being good and a hard working person. She truly was great women with an even bigger heart. When I think back on how she embraced many of us with unconditional love and affection, it is remarkable. It truly showed her sprit that will continue to live on in Gods place. Again our family condolences.
Brothers Chris & Rick Mercado thanking Penny, Bud, Don, Lana, Terra, Jenny, Dawnee for letting us be part of your family. Penny and your family made our world a better place.
