Dear Don, John, Pat and families,
I was so sorry to hear of Audrey’s passing. I have only fond memories of her. She always made me welcome in your home, and she was an energetic and caring mom. Remember the day she took us skiing, Pat, and then spread out a wonderful picnic on a blanket on the snow? And she was a great Sunday School teacher who was always prepared and patient. When I talked to her on the phone last spring, she was as bright and cheerful as always. A truly beautiful and loving woman–a great spirit. My sympathy to all of you.

Uncle Don, John, Pat and family my sincere sympathy. I was shocked to read of Aunt Audrey’s passing in todays paper. I have fond childhood memories of visiting Uncle Don & Aunt Audrey at the Hensall store and apartment, trips to their cottage, their visits to the farm and in more recent years visits in Southampton.

Uncle ‘Pood’, John, Pat & families,
Our heartfelt sympathy to you all. We were shocked & saddened to read yesterday of Aunt Aud’s sudden passing. We will cherish the memory of our last visit in August with them, when they proudly spoke of their kids & grandkids. We have thoroughly enjoyed the posted family pictures including your cottage. Sadly, another leaf from the Russell family tree has fallen but will not be forgotten. May your memories help you smile through your tears of loss & find comfort knowing others share your sorrow.
