Many many memories I have with Aunt Audrey. She certainly will be missed. She is finally back with Uncle Buck and her siblings. Sending lots of love and prayers for the family that she has left behind here on Earth.

Will always remember summers at Walton Lake as a child, and all of the talented things that she showed me growing up. Always a crafty person, I am sure that Heaven will be beautiful each and every Christmas from here on out with her and Isabelle up there ;o)

So sorry to hear of Audrey's passing. She was a very active, talented lady, always giving her time, and supporting many organizations. She was a patron of my beauty shop, and we had many nice conversations over time. My prayers and sympathy to all her family

while she and Buck lived in the condo's in Ontario, we enjoyed them.
She made our wreath which is over our fireplace in the Club House. One year she made all the ribbons that were tied on the lightpost's . She was always doing something or making something. She and I got the Blue Book started for all the people here at the condo's. She had her moments but a joy and helpful, she was missed when she moved to Columbus.
Sorry to see of here passing we are sure her family will miss her!

My sincere condolences to you all. Mrs Blocker was my librarian when I was elementary school and I remember her as very kind and gentle, but you knew not to talk too loud or be late with your books! May God bless you!
