Rose, Tom, Mark and family, so sorry for your loss of cousin Aubrey-I remember the visits at Pea Ridge when I was a young girl-it seems that nearly all our family is gone-but that is the way life is-you probably won't remember me but I am one of Uncle Paul's children-Vickie-have been gone from there a long time - been married for 38 years and have 4 grown children who are married and we have seven grandchildren who we are blessed to live very close to-well take care and may God bless each of you in your time of sadness.

My condolences to all of the family and friends. Uncle Aubrey always had a special place for me. As a child, I remember the fun we had visiting Uncle Aubrey, Aunt Rose, Tommy and Mark, and playing on the big hill in his back yard.

Sending Love,

To All of the Family--Aubrey was a wonderful neighbor and friend, and will be so missed. I always enjoyed talking to him about the cats--especially his beloved Alex--and his garden, the birds, and our families. When I was home I looked forward to his daily strolls down the block.
My deepest sympathy.
