My deepest Sympathy to Max and all her family. I meet Audrey when I came to Wigram Summerset. It turns out she have lived at the farm in Greenpark which my ex husband and I purchased in 1980. We spent a long time chatting about the many people we knew. Audrey was very easy to like and I will miss her very much. DEEPEST SYMPATHY

Sorry I cannot be there for Audrey's farewell on Saturday.
Although Audrey was almost 10 years younger than our Mum, they were close friends, with them both doing things together in the Akaroa Community all those years ago.
Sincere condolences to Max and family.
RIP Audrey.
