Bill & Family, I am so sorry to hear of Audrey;s passing. I always enjoyed time spent with Audrey, never a dull moment! It will be the little things you remember,
the quiet moments (were there ever quiet moments?), the smiles, the laughter, maybe even a tradition. And although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of these little things that help push away the pain and bring the smiles back again.
Bill and family, we are so sorry to hear of Audrey’s passing. She is now with Shawn and singing God’s praises. We pray for God to be with you during this time of sorrow and grief.

Dear Bill and family, I am sorry for you loss. I enjoyed working with her at the Highmore Nursing Home. We always had a fun time. I am only sorry I did not make it over to visit and for her to tell me some of her stories.

I know that Audrey is at peace in heaven. I will miss her terribly. Who will call me to find out what was happening —-and I never knew. Who will I take to Pierre or Brookings so that we can see her "Baby Dean" or just because we wanted to go on a road trip. Oh yes, I have lots of memories and I will miss her.

So sorry to hear the news of Audrey-O’s passing. I was fortunate to run into Audrey-O twice in Miller during just the past year and we laughed (loudly) and remembered so many good times from back in the late 70’s and early 80’s (we agreed that we were both MUCH more fun back then). Bill . . Meri . . Todd/Susie . . Suzanne . . . my sincere condolences. Audrey-O was one-of-a-kind and will be missed by all of us who had the great pleasure of being her pal.
our love and sympathy to you all. I have a boat load of memories from the swimming pool, to bragging rights for Kelsey….all the way to Kelsey’s wedding. Precious time spent with her.
We were so sadden to hear of Audery’s passing. She was a class mate all 12 years of Leslie and a good friend. Know she will be missed by all. Our prayers are with the family. May she now join her daughter and rest of the family who are in heaven.
Bill and kids..so sorry to hear of Audrey’s death…we so enjoyed our visits on Friday nights at Willies. What precious memories that she was able to attend Kelsey’s wedding.

When I worked at the nursing home with her she was always so nice and if I needed an attitude adjustment she provided that too. 🙂 I have a lot of respect for Audrey and will miss her dearly. Sending much love and hugs to Bill and all the kids. What a wonderful family!
Love you Audrey. I wish we had more time together. Rest in Peace
Thoughts and Prayers to Bill and the kids!! I am so sorry to hear of Audrey’s passing. I will miss here smiles and hugs when I would see her while home visiting. God Bless!!
Bill and family, I want to extend my sympathy to all of you at this time of sorrow. Although we didn’t keep in touch very often I did think of you and all the fun Audrey and I had at St. John’s. I’m surprised we became nurses!!!!! Dick has been gone now for 5 years. My prayers are with your family. Sincerely, Judy

To Audrey’s family,
My sympathy to you at this time of your loss! I had worked with Audrey at Highmore Healthcare. She was a great nurse, storyteller and conversationalist. She enjoyed visiting with anyone that had a minute to listen! She will be pleased to be in heaven with Shawn, as I know that was a difficult time for her. Peace is with her. May God grant you comfort, hope and peace at this time.
