The funeral service for Audrey will be on Thursday, October 6, 2011, at the TRINITY LUTHERAN CHURCH (300 Broad St., Menasha) at 5 p.m. A time of visitation will be held on Thursday from 3 p.m. until the time of services at the church.
The family would like to thank Cherry Meadows Hospice and the Heritage Residential Hospice for all they did and Aunt Lu and Uncle Olan for their daily visits.
Mom, Thanks for always being there for me, Todd. Debbie, Sam, Meghan and I sure loved you.
Mom, you have always been my biggest supporter and it hurts to think how very much I will miss you and all the times we spent together. Until we see each other again, I love you, Gail.
Audrey, you were the best mother-in-law any one could ever have and I will miss you, Don.
