Dominic, Mary Jo & family--Aud was such a sweet lady. Treated me like one of the family whenever I'd come for my summer visits. I can still hear her voice saying, "Now, Mary Jo...." whenever we would tell her some plan or scheme we'd come up with. She will be deeply missed and my thoughts are with all of you--I know Linda and all the grandkids will miss her immensely. The photo is just how I picture her in my mind. Love, San
