Condolence From: Marian Lent
Condolence: (sent by email on June 18, 2018 which I had not seen until much later)

Dear Amara, My memories of Aunt Audrey are vivid. I remember her warm and welcoming voice, her kindness and warmth and most of all her true love for Uncle Jim.
Aunt Audrey was a pure soul that spread her love and looked at the world with optimism. We always talked about the most important thing, Family. We also talked about Bobby her bird and her unending
love and devotion to Uncle Jim.

You provided your mother with love and spirit, she was blessed to have you care for her.
I hope you will come to my home to stay and visit. I will invite all of our cousins over for dinner and
we will share stories of Uncle Jim and Aunt Audrey.

Your mother will be missed, I hope to see you soon.
Love
Marian

Condolence From: Kathy Costigan-DeHaut
Condolence: Our cousin Kathy attended the Wake and brought a very beautiful mass and prayer card from her and Frank, with Perpetual Membership for mum in the Marianist Spiritual Alliance, to be forever remembered in Marianist Masses and Prayers. And there are very comforting messages shown inside the card.

And on June 18 she also sent this email -
Oh Amara, what a lovely tribute to your mom!!! And of course, so true. May she rest in peace.

I, too, am very glad to have made the trip to Smithtown to help send Aunt Audrey on her way and to visit with all of you. Too long and too far apart are our chances to get together.

I know you will all miss your mom so much but, as you said, she will be happy with Uncle Jim and all of the extended family in heaven... so many of them are there.

Do keep in touch.
Much love, Kathy
