My deepest condolences to all of the Penava family in the loss of Katie. She wasn’t just the long standing neighbour who lived two doors away. It was always a joy to chat with her. Katie’s beautiful smile was always evident and she had such a kind caring manner. As a family you all have so many wonderful memories which hopefully will help you through this most difficult time.

Jerry....words just can't say enough, but I was saddened and shocked today to hear of Katie's passing. My deepest condolences to you and your family for your loss. Although we only saw each other occasionally at our Croatian events, it was always a pleasure to chat with Katie and catch up with the "happenings" of our families. She always had a warm beautiful smile and a personality to go along with it. May our Lord Jesus Christ embrace your heavy hearts with His love and peace.
Thoughts and Prayers.... MaryAnn Butkovich

I already miss Katie's sunshine personality. Although she was my first cousin I always looked up to her as aunt (tetka) Katie. She was a perfect role model growing up. So gentle, generous and kind. She was also a great friend who enjoyed a good time. Thank you Penevas for including me in our traditional soccer game get togethers it means so much to me. I am so lucky to have you as FAMILY!! Great memories she will be so missed... Biggest Hugs & Kisses to all of you, Kathy Mullane (Oreskovich)
