I always wondered what happened to Mrs. Wray, my grade 6 teacher at Earl Kitchener Public School and was sad to read she had passed. She was very fair, never played favourites or picked on a kid. I loved being in her class. She was meant to teach children, I was lucky to have her that one year. Sincerely, Jennifer Booth, Class of 1971-72

I was saddened to read of Penny`s death in the Spectator. As a former colleague and member of the “Apple” crew we shared many times together both working and at Apple lunches in retirement–happy memories.
My condolences to the family.
Sending condolences from a prior student of Mrs Wrays. Mrs. Wray was my grade 6 Teacher @ Earl Kitchener And was one teacher I always remembered.
It was my great privilege to call Penny my friend. We shared many happy and sad times together over more than 25 years of friendship. Penny was always supportive and willing to help everyone she knew, and she was my rock during several difficult times in my life. I couldn’t have asked for a better friend, and I will miss her terribly. Rest In Peace my dear, and may your family find comfort in remembering your love.
