From Dave to Audrey:
She did indeed make friends with everyone she met. I remember the warmth and friendliness of her smile when you, Audrey, brought her to listen to my piano playing at a local assisted living community. This kindness is how I will always remember her. May God bless her and you and all your family Audrey as you carry on her tradition of kindness and love.
From Linda to Audrey:
I never had the privilege of meeting your mother, but from what you have shared with me I know I would have liked her very much. Looking at her picture I can see that you look like her — she also has that sparkle of love in her eyes like you do. Her passing has left a heart-shaped space inside you that you can now begin filling up with happy memories.
