Cornelia was a very special lady and I thought the world of her.
My thoughts and prayers for the family.
Sending our deepest sympathy to the family of Cornelia Penny. May God wrap his arms around each and everyone of you and love you through your time of grief and sorrow.
Dear Family, we are sorry for your loss. Cornelia was (is) such a sweet lady. I always enjoyed the family Thanksgiving/Christmas lunches. I still have a "kid’s gift" that I received from Aunt Cornelia – I belt and tie holder – I still use it. Haha. She would be proud I bet. Another memory that is cemented in my mind is how the women would tell the same stories every year and share a big laugh together ending with a long sigh – those were truly blessed times. John 11:25-26: Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?’ Love, Will and Anna Tanksley
Ms Cornelia was a wonderful, funny and all around great friend to myself and my family. She will be missed. You are in our prayers.
Mrs. Penny was such a sweet woman. I always enjoyed her coming out to get tomatoes from us. I will miss her and her stories about her wonderful family and how blessed she was. Heaven definitely gained an angel. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I know she will be missed terribly.
I am sorry for your loss of Mrs. Penny. Our Creator ‘will comfort you’ (Isaiah 51:12): Please make Almighty God your safe haven and strength, He can readily be found during sorrows (Psalm 46:1).
My deepest sympathy for the Penny Family. May God bless each of you with compassion and understanding in this time of loss.
