Remembered your mother today. She was a sparkling personality with whom I taught
for many years. She made me hand crafted coasters that fit around wine glass stems. Together she and I helped with operettas for Iroquois. I didn't know she had left us. Please accept very belated condolences.

Auntie Aud was very special to me and my family. We had such a great trip to the Bahamas and lots of other special times. Audrey was a good friend to my mother and an excellant teacher. We were blessed to have her touch our lives.
