Audrey you were one of the sweetest ladies I have known, Thanks for the wonderful Lessons and Words of wisdom and your sweet spirit. You are missed.
I will be forever in my debt to Audrey Birks, when I was a very young kid, she taught me many gospel lessons as my teacher in an organisation dedicated to teaching young children about the teachings of Jesus Christ. Her lessons stayed with me throughout my life, I taught these lesson to my children, and now my children are teaching their children. Many generations have been positively affected because of Audrey Birk's good lessons. Forever in her debt, thank-you Audrey.
Aunty Audrey you will be sorely missed. As they say, your days on Earth are done and what an impression you made. Always there to listen and help anyone who crossed your path. Indeed you were there when I was born and always we talked about the build up and Dad picking you up on his motorbike to help my Mum. Love you so much and will always miss you. Back with your soulmate now, RIP love Les Rich and family xxxx

The memories are flowing through my eyes! Audrey could envelope you with her genuine love! We remember a spur of the moment trip to the Palmyra pageant, we needed to meet with the Branch President - Rick Quemby - and he was there. Ron and Audrey were headed that way and basically said “get in, we’ll take you!” That was over 43 years ago and we have cherished our friendship ever since! To be continued dear friend!! Our sincere condolences to Kevin and her family - her love will always surround you!
Our deepest condolences to Kevin and the rest of the Birks family on Audrey's passing. Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
Jennifer I am so sorry to see that your Grandmother has passed away. My condolences to you and all of your family
I first met Audrey when I met Kevin in grade nine over forty years ago. She will be welcomed by her beloved family that went before. To live to such a great age means she was well taken care of by Kevin. Rip Audrey.
My deepest condolences to the family of my dear friend Audrey. A lady with a heart as big as all out doors and a sweet spirit I will miss visiting. Reunited with her eternal companion.
I could not have asked for a more loving and caring Aunt. Rest in peace beautiful lady. Forever in our thoughts and hearts. Elaine, Roger, Nick, Andy, Laura, Elliot and Rupert xx
