Audrey Schwartz

I remember the gatherings, as we were growing up, with the Schwartz and Wales Families, with our Bentall Grandparents. I have such fond memories of Aunt Audrey. She was a warm and loving aunt, who thoroughly enjoyed sharing herself with her nieces. I remember how supportive she was when Marilyn died. I know that Mom so appreciated having her sister there supporting her. I hope that we Schwartz' and Wales' will stay in touch and get together and tell our family stories so that our children will have a greater sense of the love that Audrey and Ralph gave to the Wales' family. My kids never knew my mom (but did have a loving grandmother with Alice Lea when Dad remarried), but I would love for my kids to have our stories. My prayers for John, Jim, Joe, and Jay and their families. Let's meet sometime soon and remember our families! Love, Barb Wales

I remember Audrey coming to Christmas with all the Norrbom's one year. I suggested that she "come sit at the adult table" and she replied "nope, with all these little ones is where I'm most comfortable". Keep in mind it was a passel of little Norrbom kiddos filling the table up, but she looked like she was having a grand time talking with all of them. From then on my kids have always thought of her as "Grandma Audrey". Kind and loving is how we will think of her. She will be missed, but we know she is with the angels.

Sorry for your loss. Audrey was so nice to my mother and she and Ralph would go out to eat with my parents and with Charlie and Mary Alice Hartman, My mom really enjoyed it..

John, Jim, Joe and Jay - My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time of losing your mom. She and your dad are together and will be watching over you and your families.. May all your wonderful family memories bring you comfort in the days ahead. My dad always enjoyed going out and visiting with your dad and seeing the clydesdales. Center Hill will always remind me of my dad's John Deere business and the Schwartz house. Thinking of you in the days ahead. It is not easy losing our parents. Kristin Everson Wargin

The time I spent with my Great Aunt Audrey was filled with stories, laughter, and love. She shared many stories with me about her years in the classroom, and as I enter into the classroom as a teacher I will remember fondly all that she taught me. I know she will be dearly missed and admired for her ability to live her life with simplicity, sincerity, and love. Love, Kathryn
