I'm so sorry to hear of Aud's passing. She was my Geneseo College roommate and friend of sixty-five years. We were more like sisters than friends. Jack always used me as family, too. May God Bless them both. My sincere sympathy to Alice, Nancy, Bob and grandchildren; also to brother Don (Lynne)and sister , Sandy.
Love and Blessings to all.
