Emily Grigsby

Can't believe it has been just over a year since we lost Emily. I find her presence in my mind sometimes when I drive by her old house or penthouse apartment, remembering our talks, good food, and the many projects I helped her with. We miss you. Love, Chuck

I was thinking of Emily this morning as I had not visited with her in a while, and was sad to find she had passed. I helped her and Paul with so many things over the last 30 + years, enjoyed her life's stories as we did on many occasions while she "always" made sure to offer me a snack or lunch. I learned more about her life growing up reading her book and will also be reminded through her artwork that I have.

Rest in Peace Emily

Love,
Chuck

I met Emily when I was just starting my career as a lawyer here in Atlanta and had volunteer as part of the Georgia Association for Women Lawyers to help organize a fundraising art auction. I don't recall how, but somehow I was introduced to a woman lawyer artist, Emily Grigsby, and we struck up a friendship. She had such an amazing spirit and generosity! I am sorry to learn belatedly of her passing. My condolences to her loved ones, who must surely be missing her.

I am honored and blessed to be thought of as “son” by Emily. We met over 60 years ago when I worked for Paul, my god-father. It was plain to see that Emily was the real boss. When she spoke, everyone listened just like E.F. Hutton. “Joe come to the house Now, Paul just got home from the Mayo Clinic”. After a brief and futile explanation about my need to be delayed, I came immediately. Emily loved without boundaries, giving unapologetically. There were no secrets between us. It was amazing how...

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.
