Dear LaMarche Family: I can still close my eyes and see Mrs. Penor hanging clothes out on the line at Pine View Drive when all her grandchildren were growing up. How wonderful that she lived such a long and full life. She has earned her rest. May all the memories of her life come before all of you and give you comfort in the days ahead. She will be missed by many. Most sincerely, Jean Rademacher Benoit
