My thoughts and prayers go out to Jon and family at this sad time. I am so lucky to have met Audrey (and Gus), although for far too short a time.

I was a good friend of Audrey's when she was Secretary to the Adjutant General. She was a fun person. We had many laughs together. I am sorry to hear of her passing. May God be with her
