When ever I think of Audrey, I smile. she was a dynamic, sharp witted womanand we always had fun working in tobacco when she and Anne were our planting mates! I know you will all miss her very much ..We that got a chance to know her were truly blessed.With deepest sympathy, George and Cathy Loukes (Clarkson)
To Brenda, Donna, Paula and FamilySo sorry to hear of your Mom passing. I was sure she would make it to 100! She was an amazing woman, always smiling and active. I'd hate to count how many times she did her 2km walk up and down the road. Many memories come to mind from over the years and the stories I could tell! Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and I would be there except for the nasty summer cold I have.My deepest sympathies. God BlessMargaret Benns
