Instead, be grateful for the time you do have and don’t let it waste away through worry (Matthew 6:27). Whether you’re a father, father-to-be or want-to-be, know that you don’t have to do it all on your own. God, your Heavenly Father, will be there to help you in all things both personal and parental. And as you try your best to be strong and see them through their troubles and sor- rows, there comes a time when you need more than your heart and hands…you need God’s. Not to replace yours, but to help embrace and brace them up so you can continue being there for your children. No matter who you are and what you’re going through (been through)—even if you don’t have children—God wants you to not only remember but to know that you aren’t just anyone, you are His child. He will never forget or forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Whether you are sick with a physical cancer, the cancer of an addiction, a lost childhood, a broken heart, broken home, or broken marriage, you are still a child of God. That means He is right there with you every day, every way, in every despair, darkness and brokenness. He still believes in you and loves you, no matter what!

D esmond Noel Mary Dominick Penny

Desmond Noel Mary Dominick Penny was born in 1950 in Limerick, Ireland and passed away peace- fully after a battle with leukemia on June 11, 2021, at LDS Hospital. His was truly a life of figuring out “why” and his family and friends will miss him dearly. At a young age growing up in Ireland, he remembered reading in any free time he had, enjoying summers swimming in the Kilkee pollock holes while camping near the beach in a tent fondly nicknamed “Frankenstein”, and reciting Shakespeare speeches on the table at his Dad’s potato store on Gerald Griffith Street. He always had a crazy-but-true story ready about his early years and it instilled a love of Ireland into his family. Throughout his life, Des kept his love of his native country through his connection to his family there and the literature and music of this beautiful country. Des excelled in his aca- demic studies and graduated with a B.S. in Computer Sciences and M.S. in Mathematical Physics from the University College Cork. There he was recruited by a visiting professor to finish his education at the University of Utah by gaining a PhD in Civil Engineering. It was in the U of U Engineering Department that he met Sara Nelson who was working her way through her Journalism degree as a department secretary. They married in Cedar City shortly after graduation and moved to Cork, Ireland to begin their life together. After a year in Ireland, they moved to Beaumont, Texas where Des was a professor for Lamar getty images University and an engineer for the Texas oil rigs. In Texas, the Pennys shined on the stage and enjoyed being a part of several community theater productions. Des played roles like Henry Higgins, Starbuck, and Ko-Ko. Right before the Using a will or trust – which is better? recession of 1983 hit Texas, Des and Sara were able to get job offers around the country and moved to Cedar City, UT to funded trust avoids probate state, your beneficiaries may be be close to grandparents, the Utah Shakespearean Festival, by Jeffery J.
