Condolences

My deepest sympathies to my cousins and all my Auntie’s grandchildren and great grandchildren. To all who loved her. She was a remarkable woman. She was my God Mother. I will always remember her giving me a painted rock of a lady bug when I was around 3-4 years old, I felt so special as she didn’t give my sisters one lol. My Auntie also made me my first pair of moccasins as a baby. I know her presence will be forever missed by her family, as she was an amazing Matriach. Sending love to you all. Jan and Family

Sending Love and our condolences to all.

Sorry to hear of Aunt Audrey's passing. She was a beautiful woman, caring and always smiled and gave the best hugs. Not living close I think my last memory of seeing her was at an Elders' picnic. Loved her smile and will miss her. Prayers and Love.

Deep condolences and strong hugs for your family and all who loved Audrey. She was a wonderful woman. All my love - Cheryl (Spruce Bay, Manitoba)

Deepest condolences to the whole family. Auntie Audrey will be so missed. Grateful for cherished love she shared.

I am so sorry for your loss of your Mama and may she rest in peace

Oh Tracey! I am so sorry to hear about Audrey. She was such a lovely warm person. I always enjoyed chatting with her when we were working on ‘Walking With Our Sisters’. ❤️

My condolences to your family.

Sending our deepest sympathy and love. Katherine Denune, Tom and Teresa Denune.

My deepest condolences. I will never forget her warm smile and joyful heart. Whenever I went to bingo with her, she would always reach across the table and lovingly dab the numbers I missed on my strip of 3 cards after expertly dabbing her table full of what looked like about a hundred or so cards. I don’t know how she did it. She had a heart full of love.
