I met Audrey over 60 years ago at Camp Quin-Mo-Lac and, although I've never seen or talked with her since then, she has been forever in my memory 'book'. One cannot forget Audrey. "Kim's Kids", alias our cabin, cherished our nickname. As I think of her now (Having just learned that she has passed on), I see her smile. It was contagious. Bless you for being Audrey.

Audrey was one of a kind. She didn't like to have any attention on her, but preferred to wrap herself around YOUR life. Her laugh would echo through the rafters while she would clap loudly or smack you on the back. Everyone was "Bwana" to celebrate the 1960s she spent in Kenya. Forever after she was making connections with news she missed to fill the historical blanks. Audrey taught me as a young mother to "honour the goddess within". Her speech included phrases like "give yourself permission" - "the wounded healer" - "life-giving" - "let the spirit move you". When given a compliment, she would say loudly "you're only saying that because IT'S TRUE!" I came to know her as a friend of my mother-in-law, Lillian Gates.Impressively, my husband Peter and his sister Bronwen knew Audrey from when they were young, and then MY boys grew up knowing her all of their lives! Audrey welcomed anything new with relish, especially believing that young ones were the hope of our world. We enjoyed having her for overnite visits for Easter egg cracking contests, for Xmas and Thanksgiving meals, and she always offered to help by saying "I've got hands!" Audrey believed in going for long walks as a family, in eating yogourt and fruit, and always, "waaater". Yet Audrey had a guilty secret treat : give her a spoon to eat sweetened condensed milk straight from the can! For all the love and laughter dear Audrey, we give you thanks, and pray you are kicking up a fuss in heaven!

Audrey was a bright light whose big smile I'll never forget. Her work for the United Church was a great gift to so many.

Auntie Kim, as my brother and sister and I knew Audrey, was a very special member of our family and an important part of our growing-up years. Her warmth and enthusiasm were infectious. Her stories, her genuine interest in us, her sense of humour and her heartfelt laugh are just a few of the things that come to mind when I think about Auntie Kim. I am very grateful to have known her. Our world has lost a beautiful and precious soul.

Audrey was my Aunty, she was my soul mate. All though we had lost touch a few years ago, she was always and will always be in my heart. She lived her life to the fullest and when she spent time with us I always learned something new. She never stopped learning and exploring. The greatest compliment I ever received was when I was told that I was so much like her, I will treasure that. We could all do well to be a bit more like Aunty Audrey. Rest now, until we meet again.

Remembering our times with Audrey
I first met Audrey in Kenya 60 years ago.
There with my husband Trevor, who died in 2010
and my five children, who knew Audrey as Aunt Audrey,
we worked as missionaries in Kenya,
in the church with Audrey.
Through all these years, most recently in Toronto,
we continued to be "touched by Audrey".
My thoughts and prayers will be with you all at Trinity St. Paul's church on Tuesday as you all together celebrate Audrey's life and share memories.
We give thanks for her life
and remember her for her love of God
and of all those around her.
We pray that she is at peace in our heavenly kingdom. Alleluia

Audrey has been a treasured friend for over 60 years. I hope that I can keep alive the kind of joy she found in living, even when things were difficult, and the compassion she never everlost. Mary Lund
