She was totally my boss when at work, but when we walked out the door she was my friend.She will be missed for so many reasons. It breaks my heart that she is gone. My love and prayers to Jack and their children. Audrey…..YOU WERE A GEM!!!!

Audrey was the best boss I ever worked for and a wonderful friend. During a very tough time in my life she gave me the best advice I have every been given and I live my life by it. ‘Look him straight in the eye. You owe it to yourself’ and I did. I will always hold her laugh in my heart. I love you Audrey Callahan!!! …..even if you were from KY 🙂

Aunt Audrey will be sadly missed. She had enthusiasm and passion for everything and everyone she touched. Jack, Jim, Avril and Mavis take comfort in the thought that life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broad side, fully used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaim: Wow what a ride!
JACK AND FAMILY , SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR LOSS OF AUDREY. THEIR ARE LOTS OF MEMORIES. OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU. DAVID HAMIL AND FAMILY

Sorry family about the loss, Daddy brought the letter from Virginia over for me to read. Mom and dad are doing good for there age but Dad is going blind and can’t hear good. I loss my wife and Kyle’s mother in 2006. If I would have known I sure would have brought them up there. My most memory was listening to the way she talked. Love all of you and will stay in contact and would love to see all.
I am so sorry too hear about Audrey.Dad got a letter from Virginia and my brother called me.We just sort of lost contact with each othe over the years.I can still remember coming to visit when we were kids.
Jack and Family, sorry it has taken me so long to write, I only just got a copy of the TBPA mag with the web address in it. I was so sorry to hear of Audrey’s passing, she was a good friend to me when I felt, so alone and without family and of course you were a good friend as well I still have the map of England thimble holder you made me. I often think of you both, she was a true friend and I will treasure a lot of happy memories in which Audrey was a great part. My thoughts are with you, God Bless Lesley Chalmers ( Lee Thompsons wife)
