To Penny’s family: I was shocked and saddened to hear the news yesterday from my Mom. I don’t know what to say, except that I am thinking of you all.

Though I didn’t know Penny very well, we had a common interest and that was to be part a dragonboat team of breast cancer survivors-Rowbust. We, as a team, had the privilege of taking Penny out for a ride last year and I still see her wonderful smile while she sat up front. I’m sure I speak for the whole team in saying that we will always hold that memory with us and will miss her dearly. My sincere thoughts and prayers are will all of you.
Dear Mike,Michelle,Nicole and families,
I was sad to hear about Penny,s passing away.
She fought a very courage battle and now she is
at peace.I had the honour of working with Penny
at Craftersmarket for 2 years.
I am sorry that I am not able to attend the visitation
or the funeral. My thoughts and prayers are with you
all. Take care of yourselves.Grieving a loved one is
hard work. I lost my husband 4 years ago.
I will be making a donation in Penny’ memory to the
Breast Cancer Foundation.
Sincerly,

Dear Mike and family,

It was sad to hear of Penny’s passing this AM. My sympathy to the family.
It was my good fortune to know and work with Penny for several years at The Crafter’s Marketplace. Penny was a fabulous lady with a very positive outlook on life and a terrific sense of humour. I’m sure both of these qualities served her very well in her battle.
Penny loved people and it was no secret that her first love was her family. I’m sure she leaves behind a huge bevy of happy memories that will come to the forefront as time passes.
Penny’s family: My deepest sympathy goes out to all of you. I met Penny through The Crafter’s Marketplace and spent much of our friendship on the phone and at the fun meetings in Toronto. She touched us all with her fantastic sense of humour as she could always see the funny side to everything. I know you will all miss her terribly but she has left you a great legacy – to have such a mom and gramma was a real honour. It was an honour to count her as my friend.
To Penny: You go girlfriend – I will miss you!! You did it in style!!
Michelle, Mike, Colin and Kate … Just a note to express our sadness with your loss. Words are very hard to find at a time like this. She has gone home; to a lovely place with no pain and no discomfort and is looking down on all of you with love and peace in her heart. It is so hard to let loved ones go, but someday each and every one of us will unite with family members gone ahead of us. God bless all of you. Elaine, Joe and family.
I am so sorry of Penny’s passing.I had the honor of being a collegue of hers at Crafter’s Marketplace. During the 8 years I knew Penny,she had the biggest smile and the kindest words for all.Penny was a very hard worker and took pride in all she did.
We had alot of laughs.
I am truly honored to have had the opportunity to be a very small part of her life.
My thoughts are with her family..
God sped Penny.
With my love.
Norma

THE DASH I read of a man who stood to speak at a funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on her tombstone, from the beginning ….to the end. He noted that first came her date of birth, and spoke the following date with tears, but he said what mattered most of all, was the dash between those years. For the dash represents all the time that she spent alive on earth…And now only those who loved her know what that little line is worth. For it matters not, how much we own, the cars….the house….the cash, what matters most of all, is how we spent the dash. So think about this long and hard…..Are there things you’d like to change?…..For you never know how much time is left, That can still be rearranged. If we could just slow down enough to consider whats true and real, and always try to understand the way other people feel. And be less quick to anger, and show appreciation more and love the people in our lives like weve never loved before….if we treat each other with respect, and more often wear a smile….remembering that this special dash, might only last a while…So when your eulogys being read with your lifes actions to rehash….Would you be proud of the things they say about how we spend our dash…………Penny,…you’ll be missed
Mike, Michelle and Nicholle,
I’d like to again express my condolences. I attended the funeral home last night and enjoyed looking through the photo albums.
One picture really jumped out at me; it was of Penny with her new accordion. When she sold that Hohner Gola, my parents bought it for me.
I still have it.
So sorry to here about your loss.We have fond memories surrounding our times with your family at group playing sessions for suzuki violin.I saw Penny about a year ago and she told me she was struggling with cancer.Thinking of you all and hope your memories help ease the pain.
Michelle and Family
Just to let you know our thoughts are with you at this time of sorrow.
Mike, it’s been many, many years since you were my ball coach & Nikki since we were at Laurier – Michelle, I’ve run into you more recently on the diamonds with the boys but I have thought of you all often this past week. I know you will have many wonderful memories that you will hold close to your hearts forever.
Deepest sympathy, Marnie
Michael and family,
