Dear Joe and Girls, The only thing I can say, is Audrey was the best. She always made everyone feel welcome, and I can still hear her laugh. My Dad (Wally) loved driving Aunty Irene out to your house and spending the day with you guys.
Also one of my fondest memories is that I was always lucky to get Audrey's hand me down tap shoes. I particularly remember a pair that she had painted silver for a show she was in. I thought they were just the coolest.
Take care of each other, and know that Audrey will be your angel watching over you all.

Auntie Audrey was such a great person. She was one of those people that everyone loved to be around. She had that very comforting quality about her. I see that same quality in all three of her girls. She did such a great job raising Lauren, Alyssa, and Maggie. They are such wonderful young ladies. As much as I would love to say I wish she was still with us in body it would be selfish knowing how much pain she would have to endure. I guess having her here in sprit is more than I could ask for. I remember spending weekends at a time at her and uncle Joey’s house. (memories I will always cherish.) She will be missed by many people that love her. I am just one of those people.

Audrey God has called you home. We will all miss you, but we all know it's a better place.

No more pain
No more suffering.
Finally at peace.

You have done everything in this life to the best of your ability. You have earned your spot in heaven. Now you can relax, with no more pain.

Look down at your husband and daughters and be very proud of them. Be at peace because you know they will go on and continue to make you very proud. They will take care of each other because you have taught them well.

May you rest in peace and may God Bless your family through this difficult time.

You will truly be missed by all who knew you and loved you.

We will not say good bye, we will say until we meet again.

Love, Art and Pat

Uncle Joey and girls,

I really am so sorry for your loss. Auntie Audrey was a wonderful wife, mother and aunt.

One thing I will always remember is when your whole family came to my parents camper for the weekend and the children wanted to go down to the beach and play. Samantha was my first born and I was not happy about her playing around in all the sand, getting it stuck all over everything. Auntie Audrey said it would be ok and she would love it, You do have a shower in the camper :) She sure was right. This was the first time Samantha rolled around in the sand with the girls and had a great time. She taught me not to hold Samantha back from anything but to let her enjoy life.

Auntie Audrey you will be missed but always remember.

With all my love,
Judy

Audrey,
So many memories flood in from my youth. I remember particularly one weekend when I spent the night at the Pando residence just after you moved to Hamlin Ave. Of course the overnight stay was "supposed" to be more to spend time with Jeff and Allen but I remember having as much fun.... (or more with you)

I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOUR LAUGH AND the Sparkle you brought to your husband's eye when I saw you together.

If the measure of our lives is the "mark" we leave behind you've made some very significant ones.

I'm sure Auntie Bernice, Uncle Marty, and Uncle Ed are very proud of their only and very special daughter.

Love you,

Cousin Dave
