Was sadden to hear of Aunt Audrey's passing. Everyone will miss the twinkle in her eye, loving smile, and encouraging words. Sincere sympathy to her family in which her good works lives on. "Death is not extinguishing the light...It is putting out the lamp because the Dawn has come." May she rest in Peace. Love Margaret - Posted by: Margaret Mcgeough and Family (Niece) on: Aug 04, 2015

I was in contact with Aunt Audrey until just recently and feel real sad of her passing. She had a long happy life just like my Mom but that still does not help when they are gone. She touched many lives and will be greatly missed. - Posted by: Carol Clements (My Aunt) on: Aug 03, 2015

I am saddened to learn of Audrey's passing - she was a lovely woman. I will miss her broad smile and friendly chats whenever we met up in Gimli! My thoughts are with all of you at this time. She will certainly be missed. - Posted by: Karen Johnson (friend) on: Jul 31, 2015

Audrey left an imprint on my heart. I remember many days playing in the sandbox with Lorie and in Gimli...and she would always greet me with her big beautiful smile and say "Good to see you darlin'" I will never forget how warm, loving and kind she was. To her lovely family, you will be in our prayers constantly. " Remember not that the flame is extinguished, but just how brightly it burned." God bless you all.

I have many fond memories of the many fun times as a child spent at Gimli with Auntie Audrey. I am so glad that my boys got to share memorable times with Amma Johnson as well. She was a wonderful lady with a big heart and always had a smile for us (not to mention sharing her grapes or candy on the beach!). She will be missed! Our thoughts are with you all during this time. Love and prayers from the Bommersbachs. - Posted by: Lynn Bommersbach (Friend) on: Jul 29, 2015
