Kemella Pennie

Baby Kemella Elaine Pennie was born sleeping into the arms of Jesus on October 12, 2024, at Duke University Hospital in Durham, NC.

Our lives were touched by her struggle to be here. Kemella spent only a moment in her arms but she is forever in the heart of her mother Rebecca.

Baby Kemella will be forever remembered, and loved by her parents, Rebecca Gordon and Kelvonte Smith, her brother Miles Drye, her grandparents, Debra Branham, John and Christina Pennie, Sr and great-grandfather, John H. Pennie, seven aunts, six uncles, and eleven first cousins.

I carried you every second of your life and will love you every second of mine. Love, Mom
