To Audrey’s family, i have had the pleasure to have known Audrey since my days of Kinsmen & Kinettes many years ago.We remained friends ever since. When i worked at Frenchy’s Audrey liked to spend some time looking for a “treasure” either for herself or someone else. She loved to look, mingle with other people , & make them smile when she told a joke, which she was known for, her joke telling. When i moved on to the place i am now Audrey always came in to talk & buy a paint color she needed for her painting. I am the proud owner of a rock & a postcard size painting that is on my fridge. Audrey i will miss seeing you around & hearing your jokes & seeing your warm smile.Fly high my friend with the Angels. Finally you are back in your beloved Carl’s arm. Until we meet again.

Well, there is hardly a life she didn’t touch in Liverpool, but I vividly remember her carrying me across the street to Dr. MacLeod’s office when Nancy and I were jumping on the bed and I fell off and hurt myself; she took good care of me! And I always enjoyed her jokes and stories when she would come by the store for a chat. She was one of a kind! My deepest condolences to you all, she will be dearly missed and never forgotten! Hugs!

Thinking of the family at this time. I am going to miss chatting with Audrey when I go to the manor to see my sister. A few weeks ago my sister was sleeping and Audrey ask me to go with her to see her room. Had a nice visit that day with Audrey and Elaine. Will miss you Audrey.

My condolences to Audrey’s family, she was a nice lady who was a joy to talk to. I used to bring her rocks for her since May. She would paint them and always showed me her paintings when I visited my mother in law at the manor. I use to see some of her paintings at coastal queens and always told her she would be famous some day, she use to laugh at that and tell me I was funny. I will miss seeing her at the manor when I go to visit. She loves it when I would bring my dog with me, she would brush her and say what a good doggie. Cherish your memories of your mother as she was a sweetheart. I have know her for years, but really got to talk with her this summer at the manor. RIP Audrey, you are in gods hands now.
Helen Fox

Tim McDonald
To “Audrey’s Girls” and their families
For many years Audrey was a customer at the shop that I worked at in Liverpool. We all loved her. She made us laugh (sometimes until we cried), she often shared stories about the fun she had with “her girls”. We got to know her family through her stories even though we had never met them. We knew how much she loved and missed Carl, too. She always brightened our days with her sense of humor. I am sad to learn of Audrey’s passing but so thankful that we were friends for many years. She really was one of the best. My condolences to all of her family.
Patti and Dan Hatt
Dear Anna-Lise, Lorna and Nancy,

Your Mum was one wonderful woman. I really can’t remember any time in my life without Audrey being in it! She was a ray of sunshine who will always be remembered. Audrey was a tireless volunteer who shared her many talents with all of us. I will never forget her chuckle when telling one of her many jokes. The stories she told of life in Liverpool with friends and neighbours always entertained. We have lost an icon. Please accept our deepest condolences.
jeri and Buck
Anna-lise and family, Very sorry to hear of your Mother’s passing. All the best to everyone.

Just wanted to add a few words to this growing list of condolences. Audrey always invited me into her room at Stonehaven for a look at her artwork or to tell me a funny story. Mom enjoyed her sense of humour around the dining table. She really was a “one of a kind”. We will keep you all in our thoughts as you celebrate her life…so many great memories.

So sad to learn of your loss.
Audrey was never afraid to share her stories or wear a great hat. If someone needed a “pick me up” she gave them a piece of her art, when she needed a drive she asked for one, and when mom wanted to visit she could cross the street and find a friend.
Audrey always had something to teach us about making a great community and as sad as I am with her passing, I am very happy to have grown up with her in my life.

Warren Dobson
Dear Anna-Lise and family,
So sorry for the loss of your mother. I count myself lucky to have been one of the many who loved her. She was a true ray of sunshine in our lives. I enjoyed sitting beside her on Wednesday mornings at the Manor, playing guitar, while she painted. The last time I saw her, just before Christmas, she gave me the painting she had just finished. It is right here beside me while I write this and, in a small way, so is Audrey. I will always treasure it and my fond memories of her.
David F. Large
To the Milford family,
We have all lost a genuine treasure. You were our next door neighbours when we arrived in 1969 and among the first folk we met. Your parents ‘adopted’ us and introduced us to Liverpool…..Kinsmen, curling and church… And, of course, we appreciated your family of built in babysitters. Audrey was our community’s driving force, with her larger than life personality, quick wit, high principles, a hint of mischeviousness and open friendliness. She will be missed by all who knew her. Her many stories will live on in the memories of her family and friends. Good-bye, good friend.
David.
Peter and Andrea Crouse
We are so sorry to hear of Audrey’s passing. She was such a wonderful and positive lady and such a dear friend to Polly. Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
Rick & Kathryn Gilbert
Kathie and I were lucky enough to be neighbors of your Mom for many years on Main Street. She had an amazing outlook on life, always with her unique sense of humour. She loved to tell her stories and we enjoyed them every time. She was a wonderful lady and will be missed by all of us who knew her. Sorry for your loss, but we are sure you will have many, many enjoyable memories to keep her alive in your hearts.
Barb and Lorne Redmond
So much laughter ensued when Audrey was around. Wherever she went, she brought lightened spirits. She always joked that Lorne was her boyfriend, so driving by her on the street one day, I rolled down the window and said, “ Lorne gave me flowers for my birthday”, to which she replied,” Big deal, he gave me jewelry!”
That, quite simply,will always be one of our favourite memories. It cracked us up completely!
Audrey was an inspiration to all on how to maintain humor in advanced years.
Our sincerest condolences to all the family.
Reid and Patti Emenau
To Audrey (and Carl’s) “Girls” and their family members,
Liverpool has lost another wonderful lady. She brought smiles and laughter wherever she went. She spoke highly of her children and grandchildren and great grandchildren…so much love for you all. We send our sincerest sympathy to all of you. You are in our thoughts and prayers at this very sad time.

Shelly West and family
Jim and Adele Smith
Our condolences to the family.
Mom and dad spoke often and fondly of their friendship with the Milfords; great neighbours, curling buddies, fun times etc.
Mom’s move to Stonehaven Lodge was so much easier knowing that Audrey would be her neighbour again. They could reminisce and joke about old times. Mom will continue to cherish those many fond memories. Audrey you were special, thank you, rest in piece.

To her girls and their families, I met Audrey years ago when I was a teenager and have enjoyed chatting with this lovely lady over the years and laughing hard with her a few times. You will miss her for certain.. but you just know she is having a hoot wherever she has landed and I hope to land wherever that is someday with her because she was able to bring fun and joy to those around her. She had that special gift. Bless her. My sincere condolences to you all.
Becky Mason
Anna-Lise, Lorna and Nancy
There are so many memories and so many stories – memories of Audrey will always bring a lightness of heart and a smile. But my fondest memories and ever lasting gratitude was they way she listened to Mom The story teller would simply sit and listen to her friend tell the story – never frustrating Mom with too many questions but just letting her talk and making her feel that everything was right with the world. She was a very special woman and I feel so grateful that she was part of our lives.
Hugs to you all
Becky
Bev Pettersen
Lorna, Nancy, Anna-Lise & Families,
I am so appreciative to have had your mum in my life. Even as a kid, the Milford house was my favorite place to play with “Mrs. Milford” turning the simplest things into fun. No wonder I ran away from home and moved in. She was so proud of your girls and loved telling stories, always with that mischievous glint in her eye. She made everything a little more exciting, with equal parts of spunk and wit and kindness. Thinking of you all and hoping you can draw comfort from your close-knit family and every wonderful memory.
Keith wyer
To the daughters of one of my all time favourite people…………Audrey was one of a kind we always had many great laughs every time we got togather on the side walk at a meeting and those wounderful days when we worked at Sweenys Antiques.Some of my family say I can tell Audrey stories for hour mostly about the 19 days we spent. In England with her -and your father.I will treasure her memories for ever,. Keith
Esther Mosher
Anna-Lise, Lorna and Nancy, I was saddened to hear of the passing of your Mom. Hers was a life well lived.

My thoughts are with all of you as you start this journey. Esther and Michelle

Lorna, your tribute to your Mom was absolutely wonderful and so well delivered – you didn’t miss a trick! I’m sure all three of you had a hand in putting together that amazing eulogy. Thank you so much. Condolences and best wishes to you and your families. Terry & Stephanie Hurrell..

Carl Demmons
To Anna-Lise and all the Milford Family,
Have been thinking of you at this time, and since I learned of your mother’s death. From all the stories about your mother, her’s seemed definitely a “life well lived”. You have many memories, and will have undoubtedly share many stories and laughter and tears, in the years to come.
As a good friend of John Parker’s growing up, and knowing his personality and character, he and your mother must have had many special times and laughter as you courted, married, and lived your lives together bring up Amy & Ben. I’m sure your mother played a special role in this.
Best to you all as you carry on in her heritage.
Carl Demmons
Beth Stuart
Anna-Lisa, Lorna and Nancy – I was so saddened to hear of the loss of your mom. How I enjoyed re-acquainting with her in the past 6 – 7 years and this past year at the Manor.

Lorna and family I send you my sincere condolences upon the death of your mom. She was such a treasure! I always had a soft spot for her….. upon seeing her I knew I’d have a good laugh. She wa really good with bad jokes. Still brings me a smile just thinking about her.
Wendy Wickwire
Dear Anna-Lise, Lorna and Nancy,
I was so sorry to hear about your Mom’s death. She had a major presence in my family during our LIverpool years and later (during summer visits to Port Joli). It was always fun to wander down the beach to the Milford cabin because your mom was always there to greet us with big smiles and wide-open arms. Some of my fondest memories date back to the summer of 1957 or maybe it was 1958 when my parents set up house in an old barn at Port Joli (while they pulled apart the main house). Your family joined us. We all cooked outside and slept in tents. With so many kids and few amenities, it must have been chaos but I remember it as full-on fun! Did your mom ever stop smiling???
Sad to see that generation leave us!

Many fond memories of camping with Carl and Audry and especially days together at Port Joli. My best to the three girls Anna Lise, Lorna and Nancy
