To the entire Grigg family, may I extend my deepest condolences. From my first meeting with Penny at Cartierville School to our time at Riverdale High School and my many visits to the Grigg household, I enjoyed the warmth and sense of fun Penny shared with everyone. May the many wonderful memories you have of Penny help you through this very difficult time.

Tellement triste... I consider myself lucky to have known her, to have work with her in the NICU. Penny was the kind of woman who made you want to be a better nurse, to be a better person. We loved you dearly, we miss you.

We are so sorry and sad to hear about Penny. As a family we have lots of wonderful memories growing up so close together. Penny was always able to hold her own in a house full of brothers & their friends, this is surely what made her so strong, good and kind.

Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day.
Unseen, unheard, but always near; still loved, still missed and very dear.

We are very sad to hear about Penny's passing. We have been neighbours for 15 years and will cherish many great memories of Penny. She was a very kind and caring soul who loved her children more than anything. Any time we chatted, she always had a story or anectdote to share about the great things her kids were doing. I will always remember when she devoted her time and volunteered weekly in Jesse's Kindergarten class. She had as much as fun as the children did! Penny raised 2 wonderful children who will keep her spirit alive. Jason, Jesse and family Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time. May the passing of time ease the pain of your loss.
