    Rick, Kathy, and Sandi,
    I am so sorry to hear of Audrey’s passing. Both King and Audrey were so kind to Mom and Dad at the Exeter Curling Club when they joined . They made them feel at home. I had a few visits with Audrey when I was in Exeter, and she was always such a kind and sincere lady. It was a pleasure to know her , and I am thinking of you , and your families at this time.
