Mrs. Cousins and Barnes Family:

You have our deepest love, empthy and prayers. Mr. "Aubrey" was a dear friend to our family, especially my father, "Junius Thomas" for more than 50 years. He was a gentle, quiet man with a good heart.
We enjoyed Mr. Aubrey's visits and conversations. He was a gentleman.

As a youth, Mr. Aubrey gave me his dog, "Laddie". We were inseparable. Everywhere I went Laddie followed. I had so much joy because of this pet!

We have fond memories of Mr Aubrey that are too numerous to name, never to be forgotten. May God continue to bless you, Mrs. Cousins, Renee, George and your families. Time has passed since we've seen you all however, we hold dearest memories of you all. Give our best wishes to your mother, Doris and brother, Sean.
