    Andrea and Mike, So sorry to hear about your mom. I had a nice conversation with her just before Christmas! She filled me in on all of the grand kids and was very excited about becoming a great grandmother in the spring. She was extremely proud of all of you! I have many fond memories of time spent at your house when we were all kids. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Betsy (Carbonneau) Vogel

    Andrea and Mike, Stu and I are so sorry to have learned that Audrey has left us. I worked with her at Montgomery County Infirmary as well as Stu remembers your Mom from friends at the telephone company. Of course the last time we saw your Mom was at the Immaculate Conception Italian Fest where we chatted and she said she was doing fine and she looked wonderful. She still asked me to promise her if she even ended up in a nursing home to make sure her hair was combed and she had her lipstick on and sweatpants with socks and shoes. That was our standing joke from working together in the nursing home. She was a wonderful person, friend and an excellent nurse. We enjoyed her laughter and the joy she gave to others. I know that she is looking down on us and probably has a few good lines she could say, but I know one would be to continue to live life, love each other and always remember her. Fondly, Helen and Stu

    Sorry for the loss of your mother. I go way back with the family. Audrey and I were long ago grads of St Pats school. Bill and I were in Boy scouts together. Your grandfater Spike ,among others, took our troop to see the Giants and Dodgers in 1948. I often spoke to your mother about that trip whenever I would see her over the years on my return trips to Johnstown. God bless you. I will miss her and her connections to my childhood Jim

    Andrea and family, It is sad to hear of Audrey's passing. She was a friend of my parents, Jerry and Barbara Oles and they often met at the Rainbow restaurant along with the Wilsons, Hansons, and others. I remember Audrey's humor. She was terribly witty and quick to laugh. One time, at the Rainbow, I was complaining I couldn't afford college. Without missing a beat, she hopped to her feet and went from table to table taking up a collection for me. My sincere condolences to you all.
