I am broken-hearted by the loss of my dear, dear friend Penny Gamble. Our friendship began as next-door neighbors in 1989 and quickly advanced into a close friendship as we became something of each other’s confidant. I also got to share a unique friendship with her beloved husband Willie as well as each of her six children and many grandchildren. My heart goes out to all of Penny’s family and her many friends as we all come to grips with our deep loss. Alas having known & loved Penny brings us all closer to the light we all get to share when thinking of her illustrious spirit which will now be forever above us…

I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother/Grandmother . I will always remember fondly her stories that made me laugh and the great love she had for her family. My thoughts are with you.

I met Penny at the Culver City senior center around 2004. I was always enamored with her sense of humor and her ability as a writer and a musician. We fostered a lovely connection over the next several years and maintained our friendship when she moved to Georgia. She will be sorely missed.

My mom was every woman. To so many she was like a mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, and a role model. Not sure what I'll do without her, but with all she's taught me there's no way I can fail. I miss my mom so much already, and almost everything reminds me of her. I love you mama. Until we meet again...
