So very sorry to hear about your mother’s passing. She was a very sincere, kind and gracious lady. Whenever I have driven past the farm, I have always had a warm thought pass through my mind or a smile pasted on my face. She (and your dad) had that effect on people – or at least on me. My deepest sympathy to all your family during this time. Thank you for sharing your mom with the rest of us – it is truly a gift.
Did not know Audrey very well;however, hearing all the positive remarks attests to her goodness. A good epitaph on her memorial would be “A life well lived”. Condolences to her family. Kathy and Bill Fecio
My deepest condolences to the Ilchyna family. The few times I was lucky enough to be in her presence, Audrey would light up the room with her smile and laughter. Truly a beautiful soul. She will be missed greatly.
Our deepest sympathy to Audrey’s family! Sure going to miss Audrey; she was my inspiration, my friend. I think of her all the time, especially when things get tough and I don’t know what to do; I wonder what she would do… and her being a straight shooter… well she put things in the right perspective pretty quick.
RIP Audrey, love you!
Diane, Ron and family
I have fond memories of Audrey when we used to clog together. She was always so upbeat with that beautiful smile of hers. Condolences to all the family.
