I was saddened to hear of the death of Aubrey Phillips last week.

I have a wonderful personal memory of Aubrey, as a friend of my mother. I invited him along to one of my children's birthday parties. I was delighted when, back at my home, Aubrey got down on the floor and began drawing with wax crayons with my son on lining paper. It was a fabulous moment and I have kept those pictures along with some photos and will treasure them always.
