I am so sorry for the loss of Aubrey. She was one of my best friends. She forever will be. I met her 8 1/2 years ago at rough camp. Ever since then she's been one of my friends. She will be missed very dearly. Camp won't be the same without her smiling face.

Dear Dillenbeck Family: Your family has suffered a devastating loss and I extend my deepest sympathy and love at this sad time. I worked with Aubrey at Pioneer Family Medicine and I have very fond memories of Aubrey. I admire her for her excellent skills as an MA but mostly for her compassion and caring for the patients and coworkers. She had the sweetest smile and spirit and I will miss her.

David R. Osborn

Aubrey was a very unique person in many ways. I think the most impressive thing to me was her constant ability to think of others and be concerned and do for others. I guess that is called selflessness. She was always looking for ways to touch someones life a thoughtfull jesture, a kind deed, and encouraging word. No wonder the youth all loved her. I am sure our Father in Heaven although surprised that she came home a little early ,is grateful for the help someone with her personality can offer in teaching her brothers and sisters all about the truths of the gospel. We will miss her, she was one of a kind !

Dear Dillenbeck family,

Even though I had never met Aubrey personally, I have worked with her for many years it seems. I work at a pharmacy and many days spoke with her more than once. I got to know her very well in our field of work and have to say that she was a very caring and great person. When I called the office today and asked to speak with her and one of the associates told me that she had passed away I was in shock. My heart goes out to you all in this time of tragedy. God Bless You All.

Dear Stephanie & Dillenbeck Family,

I am so saddened to hear about Aubrey's passing. Aubrey always brought a smile with her where ever she went. Her countenance shined and she has always been so genuine, loving & very special to each person in my family. She will be dearly missed, but it brings great peace of mind knowing how much happiness she is giving to others lives up in heaven. Remember that she will always be with you, loves you, and misses you too.

I love you all, and wish that I could be there with you!

To Aubrey's family,



I knew Aubrey from the clinic where she worked. The first time I met her I felt an instant connection. She was always a joy to be around, and my kids loved going to the doctor so they could see her. I was in the doctors office today and it was very different without her there. I feel very blessed to have known her for these past 5 years. She will be missed by all who met her. My prayers and thoughts are with you. May God bless you in this trying time and may you always feel her presence.

In memorial of Aubrey Dillenbeck



I was heartbroken and deeply saddened by the news of Aubrey’s accident. When Richard called me with the news I was in such anguish and shock I could only respond “what”? In my mind I was seeing little Aubrey as an infant looking up at me with her wonderful smile from the days I use to care for her in Germany.



I remember the day she came into this world and the anxiety I went through going to various German neighbors doors trying to make them understand an ambulance was needed to bring Pam to the hospital for Aubrey’s birth. We lived in a small town that seemed so distant from the base hospital in Schweinfurt, Germany. I was so surprised and relieved when a German lady in her broken English told me she had called the ambulance.



I remember so clearly, like it was yesterday, Aubrey’s laughter and giggles when she played with Nene, my son Louis, these memories will be with me always.



Most of all I am so thankful that I was able to meet and get to know Aubrey at her sister’s reception in Maine and see what a loving and creative woman she had become. Yes she will be missed and it will be a long time before my personal pain eases as I always thought of Aubrey as the daughter I never had.



Your loving Friend

Dear Dillenbeck Family:

I wish to express my deepest condolences for your sudden and tragic loss. I knew Aubrey from Kari Barton and later Suzanne Harwood's medical offices. She became my instant friend. She was so easy to talk to - we discussed the Gospel of Jesus Christ, our weight loss goals, her deepest desire to find a righteous mate, and many other things. I cared about her very much.

I need you to know that she was special. She always went above and beyond her call of duty and made me feel welcomed and cared for. When I delivered my last little one she came to the hospital to see us. She was thoughtful, gentle and kind. I don't believe I ever met anyone with a stronger character and testimony - it just shined directly from her soul and showed in her actions and deeds.

I just wanted you to know that she will be sorely missed. You must be incredible parents to have raised such an awesome woman. Thanks for sharing her with me and know that my prayers will be with you and your family.

Lots of Love & Concern, RaAnn Foote

I sure love you, Aubrey. I will miss you.



Aubrey was my first companion, my trainer, in the Illinois Peoria Mission. She was so kind and patient with me! I was so shy and a little scared to be a missionary, but she took me under her wing and showed me by example how to be a loving missionary. Aubrey would always spend her (small) missionary fund on presents for others. She really enjoyed making others happy. I will truly miss her!

To my dear friends....



The news of Aubrey's sudden passing has hit me much more than I would have expected. I have never lost a close friend before and as a result I have shed many tears. In addition, I'm sure there will be more tears to come. At first they were tears of great sadness but as I've reflected over Aubrey's life and our friendship those sad tears are turning to tears of joy. Aubrey was one of my dearest friends and one of my role models to follow for the years ahead. She exudes greatness, kindness and the spirit of one with a true testimony of eternal life and of God's Plan. I have no doubt that she will continue to influence my life and the lives of those she touched....which were many.



I pray that your family will find peace during this difficult time and that you are comforted in knowing that you will see Aubrey again. She is waiting for you with open arms and is watching over all of us with love and hope that we live our lives as she did so that we may be reunited with her once again.



I love you and Aubrey dearly and I thank you for the great priviledge that I've had in knowing such a wonderful, wonderful spirit.



All my love.......

I am very sorry to hear of your loss. I've known Aubrey through the clinic for the past couple of years, and she was always happy to see and help our family. She was such a loving and caring person. God gave her a gift to care for and help others, and she fullfilled that gift wonderfully. Her presence at the clinic will be greatly missed by our family.

Jamie Wilcox

August 11, 2003

Aubrey was loved by everyone who knew her. There were times I would sit in Michelles room with her and Michelle, and Aubrey would give us both advise and encouragement to deal with the things that were going on in our life. She would always make sure that the church played an important role in that advise. I have always looked to Aubrey as someone to become like. Her influence will forever be felt in my life.

Beckie J

August 11, 2003

I am sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter. I didn't know her but I knew the other ones in the car with her. She seemed from what I've read a very loving person. Remember we will meet again.

Dear Dillenbeck Family,
My heart goes out to those who lost their lives that terrible day. We knew Aubrey through her work and She was truly a one of a kind person. She will always be in our hearts. When God calls little angels to dwell with him above , We mortals sometime question the wisdom of his love. For no heartache compares with the death of one small child who does so much to make our world seem wonderful and mild. Perhaps God picks a rosebud before it can grow old. God know how much we need them so he takes But a few, To make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view. Believing this is difficult, still somehow we must try. The saddest word mankind knows will always be "goodbye" So when a little child departs, we who are left behind, Must realize God loves children and Angels are hard to find

When God sends forth a tiny soul to learn the ways of birth,

A mother's love is waiting here......we call that wonder's birth..

When God calls back a tired soul and stills a fleeting breathe,

A Father's love is waiting there..........this too is birth, not death. (author unknown)





I remember your zest for life! You brought so much fun and laughter to everyone around you. May God comfort your family.

Dillenbeck family,



My Heart is deeply saddened by the loss of your Daughter and Sister Aubrey -What a blessing it is to know that it’s not the end, that one-day you will see her again, what a family reunion that will be. Aubrey is a very special person. She’s a very giving and caring person. I know that whenever I talked to her she made me feel really important and loved. I feel really blessed to have known her. She’s a great example to me. When I attended her mission homecoming I was just amazed how strong her testimony was and how much love she had for the gospel and her Heavenly Father. I can see her now doing missionary work on the other side just as happy and smiley as she ever was here. I sure love all you and my prayers and thought are with you.

Dear Dillenbeck Family,

I want your family to know that Aubrey is with her Savior, Jesus Christ. I was there that day of her passing at the accident. I am a registered nurse and stopped to try and help. I didn't know Aubry, but I do know that she was loved by those surrounding her, and there were angels that day in the desert holding her hand. My heart is full of sorrow for your family, but grateful that you can find peace in knowing where she is. Your family is in my prayers.

Our hearts are saddened with the news about Aubrey, and you are in our prayers as we contemplate your loss. This tragic accident has affected us not only because we live in a small town nearby, but because she was such a dear friend to our own daughter a few short years ago. She was a beautiful example of goodness and love in our daughter's life. We pray that you will be blessed with peace, knowing that Aubrey has touched so many lives in a positive way.

I am so saddened to hear of Aubrey's untimely death. Aubrey was a student of mine at Hunter Junior High almost fifteen

years ago. I still remember how accepting she was of her classmates and how well loved she was by them and by her teachers. She was so very patient with everyone and brought a shy smile with her to class every day.



Many may not understand how important students are to their teachers. Unfortunately, teachers don't often tell them so either. The Dillenbeck family sent me their very best when they sent Aubrey. Thank you for sharing your beautiful daughter with me and for trusting me to teach her.

Jayson & Krista Garcia

August 7, 2003

Aubrey is such a special person. She truly was a dedicated servant of the Lord, she gave of her whole heart and soul in every calling that she had, in everything that she did. She introduced us to each other, and we will always hold a special place in our hearts for her. Her obituary was the first we heard of her engagement, we are so happy that she was able to find that special someone, and so sad to hear that it was cut so short. Our heart and prayers go out to her family and her fiance, this is such a tremendous loss for you especially. Aubrey will truly be missed, she was a wonderful person.

May God Be With You Till We Meet Again. Love, Cindy

August 7, 2003

I just received an email from Stephanie about the passing of Aubrey. I thought I'd share a brief story at her request.



I served as Aubrey's mission companion in Macomb, Illinois. We shared good times.



One humourous thing I remember was doing service at the hospital. It was our job to tell the patients when to go into surgery--as well as keep the coffee pot full. Neither I nor Aubrey had made coffee before, so I was glad when she volunteered to mix it up. Well, Aubrey put too much water in the machine and it just kept filling up the coffee pot. It almost overflowed--she jumped over to the counter and switched the pot with a cup to catch the additional liquid. needless to say--she cleaned it all up and made a fresh new pot. I guess she didn't want to risk serving watery coffee. The funny thing is that she went to all that effort-and no one had a cup of coffee the rest of the day!



I love Aubrey and will greatly miss her. She was a great missionary. She was always cheerful--and never complained. I'll remember my times together with her fondly.



My thoughts and prayers are with your family.



Love,



Cheree (aka Sister Marcov)

Dear family,



I have only lived away from home 2 years this October. This is the first tragedy of this kind to happen to our family and it hurts, long distance news especially hurts. I know Aubrey and I were not as close as other cousins in the family but I too will have fond memories of her. Aubrey was my cousin and when we would see each other at family events and holidays she would always have something funny to say to make us all laugh. She always had a bright smile on her face. That is what I will remember the most about her.

Uncle Richard, Aunt Pam, Stephanie, Michelle and Scott my thoughts are with you and I wish I could be closer to hug you.



All my love Dawndee

My heartfelt sorrow at the passing of a young woman who was so much in love - with the Lord, her family and friends, and life. I have known the Dillenbeck family for almost 20 years now and have come to appreciate and love all of them. I have watched all of the kids grow into beautiful adults and Aubrey's passing will leave a void that will be felt by many. To Pam and Richard I can only say - I know that God lives and that there is a purpose for all things.....I love you all and share in your pain, but rejoice in the knowledge that we all share.

The last time I saw Aubrey was on July 24th at our girls (Ashley and Anita's) baptism. She sat in the back row just beaming with delight. Her smiling face and generous and loving heart will be greatly missed by all. She left a legacy of love and a Christ-like example for us all to remember and follow. Richard and Pam, our hearts go out to you. May we all be comforted in knowing the joy she is experiencing in her new home, and all live worthy enough to be with her again.

Carole Knowles

Dear family,

"A wonderful story, of sadness and glory...", such is life on earth. I loved Aubrey the moment I met her and she made me feel loved immediately. I miss her now, knowing that she's not here to call or e-mail, but I know she's just in the next room, being very creative and very helpful, very much her true self.

You are in my prayers often and in my heart always. Nothing can separate us from each other, not distance, not even death, because of Father's great plan of happiness and of our Savior's love.

God be with you till we meet again.

Stephanie and Paul Timpson

August 7, 2003

I am so thankful to Heavenly Father for the blessing of being part of Aubrey's life- she is the best friend I have ever had. She truly endured life gracefully touching people's hearts wherever she went. I loved that smile of hers she had even during trials and challenges. I am ever so grateful tht she got to experience true love- she was most deserving of that blessing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and I know you will make it through this because of the love you have for one another and the love Heavenly Father and Aubrey have for you.

I am devastated that something so unfair happened to someone so deserving for the best in life. She was a wonderful person who knew how to make anyone feel at ease. I know this because she did that for me all the time. She made me feel so comfortable when ever I felt out of place. She was certainly one of the most selfless people I have ever met. I am truely sorry for everyone that knew her and especially for her family. This is such a horrible loss.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Aubrey was a great missionary on this side of the veil and I am sure that she will be on the other side as well.

I have lots of fun missionary memories of her and she will be greatly missed. She was always the first one to catch up with the people of Illinois and first to be involved with mission reunions and get togethers.

Dear Family of Aubrey:



I have known Aubrey for two years as a patient of Suzanne Harwood. Aubrey and I had an instant liking for each other. She was a sparkling, happy and beautiful person. (She also could always hit my terrible veins on the first try!) I was so excited for her engangement and told her so Wednesday afternoon. She gave me a big hug I will always remember for the rest of my life (I am 60 years old). I cannot imagine your sorrow but pray for your comfort at this time of need. She will be with us always. Love, a friend, LaRay.

Dave Porter

August 7, 2003

What a shock to hear of the passing of Aubrey. I will always remember her as a friendly young woman with a smile on her face. She was genuine, no facade. Memories are many, Richard and Pam, of your family. The first time we met that Sunday in July 1978 in church will always be a significant memory for me. There was an instant bond I felt with you. My love, thoughts and prayers are with you.



The Lord will bless you abundantly. You are a great faithful family and a good example to all.

Michelle - I am so very sorry about Aubrey's passing. Aubrey was so special and I really liked her. Although it is hard now to understand why she had to die, please know that the Lord must have needed her on the other side. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.



Sincerely,

Aubrey was a special person who loved the gospel and loved life. I am a patient of Suzanne's and Aubrey was always kind and caring. We had developed a friendship and she had just told me of her engagement. I'll miss her smiling face. Our prayers are with you.
