Audrey Keenum, what a lovely wonderful lady, that I was lucky enough to refer to as 'my aunt' when I married her nephew, Harold Fleming. The hurry and scurry of life never provided the time I longed for to visit with her; but I treasure the memories from yesteryears and every minute I was blessed to be in the presence of Audrey and Robert Earl.

I pray God's comfort for
the children, Patsy, Kenny, Janice, Jerry, and their families, and the family of their deceased son, Bobby.
