Carol and family, I am sorry to hear that Aubrey has left this earth, but grateful that he is at peace with God. The Christmas pillow that he made when I was Ruth's secret pal, one of his needlepoint creations, will be a special reminder each year when it is brought out again. But if there is any family member who would like it, I would gratefully send to them.
