To Audrey's beloved family, the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi send you our deepest sympathy, prayers in remembrance, and many fond memories of both Audrey and Dr. Mike. Our fondest times with all of you were the picnics at Lake Beulah, where we gathered to eat the best roasted corn on the cob and some of us tried to water ski. I never succeeded. Know you are forever etched in our thoughts and prayers!

Dearest mom
I pray Jesus is holding your hand as you are reuniting with all of our family angels in heaven. Eternal hugs and kisses to you until I see you, again, Deb... you are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy, when skies are grey

To the Mikolajczak family:
Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your mom. My grandmother was Martha Mikolajczak and I have very fond memories of my mom and dad taking me to see "Dr. Norb" when we were young. What a wonderful, compassionate man he was. My younger brother Mike became a successful physician and Dr. Norb and Mike always had some common things to talk about. Dr. Norb and Audrey attended my grandmothers funeral when she passed in the late 90's. My mom, dad, and grandmother always spoke highly of Dr. Norb and Audrey. What a wonderful, long life she had and I'm sure she was loved by many family and friends.
Sincerely,
Mark Manske
