Augie&the Audibert Family- I only knew your Dad as a customer at the Fernwood - even though I've heard many wonderful stories about him. He had a nice smile, a twinkle in his eye, and a great sense of humor. He leaves many great memories with you all and a wonderful legacy. I'm sorry for your loss. Peace be with you.

Our condolences to the Audibert family. Memories of my associations so many years ago in EH are weak, but the Audibert name was spoken of highly and often in the Sayward family, be it as next door neighbors or through my siblings' friendships with the Audiberts. Our thoughts and best wishes are with you all.

To Jeanne and the Audibert Family,
One of the last memories I have of Grandpa Audibert was with my daughter Danica, (his Great Grand daughter) It was a nice summers day and I had gone to pick her up at your house Jeanne.
when I got there they you all were outside at a picnic table playing UNO.
Eventhough he was quite into the disease at that point he still remembered who my daughter was and how to play UNO!
He was so realxed and happy that day!
My Thoughts and Prayers are with you all.
Love,
Rachel
