A fine woman of grace, class and integrity.
It was a pleasure to be in her company and a treat to make her laugh.
No \”good-bye\”, simply \”See you again\” ……………..

Please accept my condolences on the passing of Auntie Audrey. I remember her as always being a smiling, happy aunt and very loving towards all of us neices and nephews. I last saw her at a family reunion a few years back. She will be missed.

To all the Meyer family –
We are very sorry to learn of your mother\’s passing. My mother has asked that I send you a note. She and your mother were best friends as young children – both of their dads worked for the C N. Your mother was also bridesmaid at my parent\’s wedding in 1943.
We are trying to determine when Audrey and my mother last visited in Edmonton, as near as we can decide, it would be the mid 1990s. Dorothy Livingstone was my mother\’s maiden name. She has many wonderful memories of Audrey and family. We also have a few photos we would be willing to share if you are interested.
Sincerely,
Nancy Milne
