Words cannot express the sympathy this brings. I am so sad to hear that Joel has passed. We will keep the Penny families in our prayers. I only got to know Joel as a child. He was always so fun to be with. I was only involved with the family for a short while in my life, but I cared for Michaels children and his parents and family. So sorry for your loss. Wishing your families strength in the days ahead.
