My deepest sympathies for your loss. I always looked at Aunt Audrey as someone who became strong through personal tragedies. Audrey was a mother and grandmother of some very special people, which is always a tribute to the matriarch who reared them. May we all meet again in that special place where there is only rejoicing, forgiveness, and great love. Derald Grimwood (
