I am grateful for the role Audrey played in our life. She had a youthful spark rarely seen in adults when around children. She loved playing with my daughter during our health food co-op days as much as my daughter did. We'll never forget the "un-birthday" gifts received not on a birthday!
I am also thankful for the friendship I had with Audrey,having many in-depth conversations about health, gardening, religion or whatever else we cared to talk about. The flower seeds she gave us still grow on as a memory to her.
We will miss her.
Sincerely, Cindy and Gretchen

I was so sorry to hear that Audrey passed away. She and Albert were our neighbors for almost 15 years. She was amazing with my kids and a wonderful person to live next to. From her wonderful vegetables that she grew to her wonderful cookies and pies that she shared with us always. She was a wonderful person and will be missed greatly. Thank you for all the wonderful memories and all the kindness you showed my children and I. We will miss you Grandma Janunas- as my children called Audrey! Sincerely,
Jack and Susan Paustian, Mallory, Stewart and Haley Stoffregen- and their father- Nathan Stoffregen.
