Penny was an inspiration to everyone that knew her. She was a courageous warrior that fought her battle with such dignity for the love of her family. It is sometimes beyond description how much we will miss her kind heart, her fascinating stories about life, and her friendship. I hope knowing how many people loved her gives you comfort during this difficult time.

To the Batten and Adkins familes may God continue to strengthen all of you during this time of bereavement. I will miss her. She was a very nice, and caring person. Her laugh was like none other because it made you laugh (without knowing why she was laughing if you did not hear the conversation). Her memories will give you peace and joy. ...God wanted another beautiful flower from His garden, so He picked one of the best. I shall keep the family in my prayers.
