I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Audrey since my father, Mr. Douglas Mossop, met her and fell in love with her in 2015. Their love story is “one for the books” and I will do my best to briefly share this with you now.
Doug became Audrey’s new neighbour at the Red Oak Retirement Residence in June 2015, for 3 months, while he recovered from an illness. I witnessed Doug’s transformation from sadness to joyful with this new beautiful person in his life. Both Audrey and Doug shared with me that it was as if they had known each other forever… they just clicked. Everyone around them could see and feel the love that they had for each other, and they became inseparable - the best of friends. Fortunately, Doug’s home was near the Red Oak, so their love story continued after his departure from the Red Oak. They spoke on the phone several times a day, chatted about everything, and played music for their mutual enjoyment. In addition, Doug walked the 30 minutes to visit with Audrey a few times each week. There was no amount of wind, rain, snow or ice that would deter Doug. He bundled up, put on his ‘best’, and set out to spend time with his dear friend. I always looked forward to hearing of the events that took place… there was always a story, a chuckle, and praise for Audrey. When it later became time for Doug to live somewhere with support, Red Oak was the obvious choice and they became neighbours once again. They continued to make many special memories together, until illness and circumstance physically separated them in 2022.
I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Audrey’s amazing and beautiful daughter Karyn, and we’ve been friends over all of these years. We believe that Doug and Audrey had each other in their hearts during this 1 1/2 year separation. As fate would have it, and by coincidence, Audrey and Doug became neighbours once again at Garden Terrace in 2024. Although their reunion was brief, I believe it was special. On March 1 2024, they held hands, smiled their beautiful smiles and stared lovingly into each others eyes.

Sharing a poem by David Garred that Audrey liked called The Voice of the Wind
When the warm breeze of April caresses you, part of it will be me,
When you look into the eyes of my children,part of them will be me,
When a snowflake of winter plants a kiss on your cheek,that kiss might well have been me.
And the dust that appears out of nowhere may be part of the dust that was me.
Through the promise of morning and the voice of the wind,I will always have something to say;
To reflect on those wonderful moments and warm you as you make your way.
All things that we were part of will continue to brighten each day,
Making room for your laughter by remembering I'm not far away.

Audrey and Bill Boak,
, along with Karyn, were terrific neighbours over all our years at 41 Pentland Cres. They were kind, generous and thoughtful in every way. My condolences to Karyn. Your Mom was the best….

Please accept my most heartfelt sympathies on your great loss. I only knew Audrey for a short period of time having come to know her as my number one fan at Garden Terrace Home, where I play 6 - 8 shows a year. Audrey was always front and centre and always had such a good time - always very engaged with the music and it was apparent that music reached her at a very deep level. I feel privileged to have been able to bring some light and happiness to such a lovely woman.

A part of her continues: her greatest creation. It's you. That has to be your consolation. Sadly we just don't get to keep them forever.
Sending a big hug,
Shawn

I'm so sorry for your loss Karyn. It was always so much fun to experience BINGO and musical concerts at Garden Terrace with Audrey and with you. Audrey's love of music was evident in her clapping hands and big smiles and she loved to see you dancing and enjoying yourself too. I'll always think of Audrey when I see a red cardinal. Warm wishes ~ Jeannette Baker (Evelyn's daughter)

My sincere sympathy on the loss of your Mom , Audrey! What a beautiful lady she was and never without a smile. Audrey was always fun loving with a little mischievous mixed in! A fellow singer with Canadian Showtime Chorus and Audrey always looked fabulous in red! A real class act! My dearest memory was being asked to sing at Bill's Celebration of Life and I will never forget.
Another rose has now joined the many in God's garden -may Audrey have eternal peace.

Sending my sincere condolences to you Audrey and your family. I am a member of Canadian Showtime Chorus and had the privilege of knowing Audrey. She always had a smile on her face and loved to be part of our competitions, shows and rehearsals. I am attaching a couple of pictures from our time at Carnegie Hall. Her smile lights up the room! What a fabulous 99 years she had....so many wonderful memories to cherish. Take care! Annie Higgs

I joined Canadian Showtime in 2005 and was welcomed joyfully by Audrey. She lit up the room where ever she was. Never had anything negative to say! Sad to have missed her when the ladies sang in Feb. I do hold fond memories of her always. Rest easy Audrey!
