To Aubrey's family and friends,

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I know Aubrey had a strong faith and a close walk with his heavenly father. He has been a vital part of the Gum Spring church family and shared many years of faithful service in music ministry and the community senior group as well as using his talents to make bookcases for the church. Each time I open the bell choir instrument cabinet I will remember Aubrey and be thankful for the ways he served God at Gum Spring. When I directed the choir, he kept me on my toes for he was always up to mischief but looked so innocent! His love of his family, his church, his God and his friends have been an example to me. Aubrey always met me with arms outstretched and a big smile. I will miss my friend but draw comfort knowing he is free of pain and suffering and abides with the heavenly father.
