    My condolences to the Penhale family. It was my pleasure to have met Kay and Emerson on one of my various genealogical journeys in Ontario. Emerson was my 2nd cousin as his grandmother Jessie Vosper Penhale (1867-1918) was a sister to my grandfather John Vosper (1856-1925). Take care and God bless.
