I'm so sorry to hear of Audrey's passing. She was one of my mom's (Shel) favorite cousins. I remember her as having so much style and class. And apparently lots of loving family and friends.

I was so lucky to call Audrey my aunt. Always generous, beautiful, elegant and a woman not afraid to speak her mind - what a model. My heart aches with sadness. Love you.

I will never forget the look on my son's (Audrey's youngest great grandson) face when he met his GG at 3 months old. We hadn't yet seen a smile so large. She was an expert at making people feel special and honored. We will miss you dearly, Audrey, and you will live on in the traditions you created.

Audrey and Bill celebrate grandson Will's 5th birthday. Let there be clams. Thank you for adding joy to our lives. Such an indomitable spirit.

Audrey was my mother's, (Barbara Reiff) friend for as long as I can remember.
I always thought Audrey was the sweetest, kindest, and most beautiful friend my mother had.
When our paths crossed, and we were in the same room for a family event, it was so nice to reconnect.
Thank you for you graciousness and inner and outer beauty.

I had the privilege of being a friend and a cousin to Audrey for over sixty years. Her grace and kindness will always serve as an inspiration to those of us who had the opportunity to know her and share in her joy for life. Rosemond

we're all going to miss you so much...we're so lucky to have had you part of our life, family and memories for so many years, and for years to come...we'll miss you greatly.

Audrey loved to give presents, to decorate the house for parties and celebrations, and humbled us all with her energy for entertaining.

Audrey and I played together in Central Park in 1936, and remained friends ever since. I will miss her.

She made quite an impression on this planet. In the last week of her life the number of people who expressed strong feelings of love for her was overwhelming. From store merchants, friends, and family members - her loss reverberated through many of us. She was a unique and gracious soul.
