I am very sorry for your loss. I originally met Audrey at the store where she worked in Aberdeen Mall. I liked her immediately as she was always so helpful and personable and had just a joyful personality. After she quit work I would see her every so often, usually at the mall, while shopping. I was so sad to hear that she was sick and all that she had to go through. The last time I saw her was at Costco, in the Pharmacy, not long ago. She still had such a joyful spirit and gave me a big hug. I will miss seeing her smiling face. She was a beautiful lady, both inside and outside. I am glad I got to know her a little bit. I believe in the Bible’s promise that one day death will be done away with. For now, we have wonderful memories of our loved ones. Take care.
Ron and family, so sorry to learn of Audrey’s passing.
May memories help you through this difficult time and in the days ahead.
Sincerely,
