Aunt Aub was such a kindly and positive person. Her social skills were impeccable, to quote my Dad. I'm the #3 daughter of Herb and Jean (Smith) Duncan. I remember Aub & Jer taking my friend Nancy and I to the Minnesota State Fair 30+ years ago. Nice! Jer, my prayers are with you & family tonight - and going forward.

Uncle Jer, I was so sorry to hear of Aub's passing. I recently ran across a picture of the 2 of you. You were in your Navy uniform & she was so cute with her long hair. You two were a great couple. I'll always remember her outgoing personality & zest for life. Please know that you are in my prayers. Beverly (Duncan) Wood

Aub was my dear friend for 80 years. We grew up one block apart. She, Ruth and I spoke at Toots funeral. We four had been together since kindergarten. I need her but God needed her most. My deepest sympathy to Jerry, Dickie, Susan and Lindsey. I am heart broken but pray for your peace and understanding. May God grant us grace. Natalie Witte
