So many memories of my Auntie Audrey. Sitting in the back seat of her awesome big old fashioned car. Going to NY World’s Fair. Her wonderful laugh and the beautiful friendship she had with my mom. The Guild Girls. Lake Winnepesaukee. Camping trip to North Carolina. But most of all how she loved her wonderful husband and children. Be at peace, Auntie Audrey.
BARB, SO MANY MEMORIES OF YOUR MOM WHEN WE WOULD GO OVER YOUR HOUSE AFTER SCHOOL. LOVED STAYING FOR DINNER. THE BEST SALAD AND SALAD DRESSING EVER. MY LOVE TO EVERYONE.
Dear Barb and Doug and family, So very sad to hear of your Mom’s passing….I will always remember her and the love she had for the lake and Camp Iroquios. She and my Mom will probably run into each other getting their hair done like at Ginny’s in Centre Harbor!! Please extend our condolences to your Dad. Love, Chuck and Cheryl
Don, Barbara, Doug and family, We were sorry to hear about Audrey’s passing. She was always fun and interesting to be with and talk to. We pray that you will find comfort in the many memories you are left with. Love.Ellen & Chuck (always Charles to Audrey)
