Our sincerest condolences to cousin, Elmer, and all the Oja family members on Audrey’s recent passing. Although our paths did not cross often in life, Audrey was always warm, gracious & welcoming…and a faithful Christmas card sender for over 6 decades. I remember how highly thought of she was by my late mother, Elma, also.. “She’s such a wonderful person”, she’d always say. A long life well lived & respected is both a blessing and a privilege. RIP now, Audrey!
