I was shocked that Audrey left us so quickly. She and mom are together in heavens and I hope fixing moms hair. Mom passed Tuesday morning about 1:30 am. Having known Audrey since way back the 70s she was a true believer in her God and truthful. I will miss her always asking about Mom but I pray they meet in Heaven and watch over us all. Truly a classic.

Our hearts are broken on learning that Audrey has passed. I (George) have known Audrey for over 30 years, meeting her at Ben’s Hair Salon and most recently at Headmasters. On each visit I looked forward to our friendly hug and a kind word to say. I always asked about her lovely daughter whom she worshipped. We always remember her as a kind Christian person. MAY HER MEMORY BE ETERNAL!
