I loved you Mom....im sorry for all these years...rest well...Kim.

Audrey knew how much Ron and I and our family cherished her. I first met Audrey 40 years ago. There are lots of good memories across those years.

Part of life's adventures took her to places she would never have guessed she would see but she enjoyed the times of travelling especially her trip to Dodge City, Kansas as well as Wichita. Being Grandma at that time meant also joining in for a trip to see the KC Royals play ball. A beautiful sunny day for a ball game, tickled pink wearing Shaun's army cap, enjoying a cool one and cheering on the team. Audrey was a good sport. She loved visiting Bonnie's Grandpa Bob's farm and meeting everyone there. (visit photos section for snapshots)

She would have loved to have visited Lindsay and family in AUS as well - just such a huge trip to make. She did love seeing all those photos and FB posts over the years of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Part of sharing her good cooking involved sharing her recipes with us. Great granddaughter Dorrie has mastered the legendary "Audrey's Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies". I'm still trying to master her potato salad!

We miss Audrey greatly and we give thanks for the time we had together to learn from and love one another. She is in our hearts always.

With love,

Mary

I was just so lucky to have you as my mother in law. Audrey was always so loving, so giving and so very patient. She always had a wonderful smile for everyone and warm kind words of encouragement. May you rest in peace and you will always be in my heart.

My deepest condolences to all the Cook family at this sad time. Although it was only five short years that I've known Audrey I quickly realized from our conversations how much her family meant to her. I know she loved to read, enjoyed having a laugh and grocery shopping always included mentos and rice krispie squares. You will be missed by everyone that loved you. I hope there's a T.V. in Heaven so you can watch CNN.

Aunt Audrey,

Ron, Dan, Jerry and Kim.

I will always remember the dinners at your house and loud laughs everyone shared. Since I heard of Auntie Audrey's passing I am flooded with memories of your old house in Huntington Hills. When I was little it seemed a million miles from our house. I always thought why do they live so far out in Calgary, it's practically Edmonton, or so my Dad would say to me. May she rest in peace embraced by the love of God. Remember all the good times.

Aunt Audrey you will be greatly missed. Most of my memories are from when I was very young boy but I still remember them as they were yesterday. Always was exciting seeing you, Uncle Kenneth and the boys as I looked up to you and the family. Warren, Lisa, Brandon, Julia, and Alex.

My dear Auntie Audrey... will miss your sweetest to me as always... My brother’s and I would play in your basement with your beautiful boy’s, our cousins when visiting as kid’s do ... sit with the adults, listen to all the news at Christmas and visits to Calgary as you all catch up and I felt at home ... simple things : you would get us a drink or a snack, ask about school or what we were up to, were always sweet to us kids, always hugs when you saw us to know we were important to you and I appreciate all of many visits together throughout the years ... I will miss you Auntie xoxo

Love You Rest In Peace,

What can I say about this wonderful woman I was fortunate to have as a mother in law? One of the most intelligent and kindest person I knew. I remember trying to cook some of her recipes and Jerry saying they aren't as good as Mom's. She heard that and playfully cuffed the back of his head and said of course they are probably better! She was so proud of all her boys and their families. I loved listening to her stories of the different adventures she had encountered in her life. We shared a love of reading and some of our best gifts to each other was a good book. She was such a comforting person. We could talk for hours or we could sit quietly and just enjoy each other's company. We also shared a lot of laughs over the years. She enjoyed a good joke or story. Her life had different challenges over the years but you never heard her complain about it. Caitlin and Natalie were proud of you and Caitlin enjoyed sharing the same birthday(December 15) as you. I think I can say I am a better person for knowing and loving you. Thank you Audrey for being a part of my life and may you now rest in peace. Love you forever Sue

As a former journalist, I shouldn't be at a loss for words Mom, but I am. I look back over all of the years and the one thing that was constant was your love for and pride in your boys. The years span so many memories. Listening to you play the piano for Grandpa and Grandma at their home in Regina, seeing you hold Caitlin and Natalie for the first time, discussing the latest books that we happened to be reading at that moment, visiting you in Calgary the year after dad passed away and seeing how you moved on with your life with courage and resolve, and so many more. It's the small things that make up a persons life and yours' added up to so much. I love you Mom. I'll never forget you. Jerry

My dearest mother you will forever be in my heart. I remember our long chats on the phone and our many trips to The Bay when I was a teenager but mostly your unconditional love for me was unwavering. Rest easy with Dad and your family in Heaven. I love you always..

More memories of Audrey are shared under "Photos"

Grandma, I'll always remember you, tea towel draped over your shoulder, working in your kitchen, feeding your family with love. I have many memories of you, but this is what sticks in my brain. Simple, caring gestures.

Rest in peace Audrey, and know you were loved. Much love to my Dad and all of your Sons and family. Love Lindsay, Rachel, Cooper, Dorrie and Jedi.

I commend you, my dear grandmother to almighty God, and intrust you to your creator. May you rest in the arms of the Lord who formed you from the dust of the earth. May Holy Mary, the angels and all the saints welcome you now that you have gone from this life. May Christ, who was crucified for you, bring you freedom and peace. May Christ who died for you, admit you into his garden of paradise. May he forgive all your sins and set you among those he has chosen. May her soul, and all the souls of the faithful departed Rest In Peace.

Thanks, Mom, for always being there for me for sixty years. I love you and miss you so much. You are in a better place. Say hi to Dad for me.
