I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Audrey. It was an honor for me to have cared for her through this horrible disease. She was a fighter and fought this with all she had. I know she is in a place of no more pain and suffering. You will be in my thoughts and prayers as you grieve the loss of a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother. May God be with you. Sincerely, Tammy
so sorry to hear about Audrey, when to school with her at Flintville high. My thoughts and prayer are with her family at this time.
Sorry to hear about Audrey, you are all in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless you.
I spent the entire summer with this family in 1960, Audry was about 4 years old then. I am sorry that the family has not been in touch as much as we should have, seems we only see each other at funerals. God bless this entire family during these trying times.
Mike,So sorry to hear about loss. You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.
