Audrey was one of my first babysitters many years ago. She always was kind and loving. She allowed boys to be boys but only under her motherly eye. One of my fondness memories is having her tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch.

I am thankful for the opportunity to know her. My condolences go out to the family.

She is in a better place.

Audrey used to care for us when we were little. I was actually a flower girl in Peggy's wedding and still have the pictures. Someone in the family may remember us by the last name of Brewer. She was a wonderful person. I have only seen her a couple of times in the past 10 years and will never forget her. I am very sorry for your loss, just knowing her was a blessing in my life.

Peggy, David/Lori, Greg and Families,
Audrey will be greatly missed at our family get-togethers, especially at Christmas time. Who's going to make those wonderful baked beans? Audrey has a special place in my heart. I still remember her getting after me for running away (just for a few hours) while we stayed with her when my parents went to Europe. Man, that was 30 years ago. We shared many great times over the years. Aud, love you and will miss you much.

I will miss you a lot because you are a very nice lady and you always made me laugh. I thought that you were one of my very best friends and I am really going to miss you. I liked when you came to my birthday party because I wanted to see all of my family and I am glad that you were there.

To Augdrey's family,

Our sincere sympathy goes out to all of you. When I was married to Truman, we all lived in the same neighborhood and our children went to Washington School, so we knew Audrey very well. We have very fond memories of her and her loving ways. She will be greatly missed.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you.
