    To my family, my Aunt Audrey was my heart. I will always remember her quiet spirit. Mom Mabel and Aunt Audrey was able to have their sister time with me and Mike when they came and stayed. I always loved watching her smile and comments to her "es;older"es; sister. Rest in Peace, my beautiful Aunt. I will see you on the other side. You were an inspiration in my life. May God comfort and give the family peace during this time of bereavment.
