Audrey was my Mother's first roommate at Jacksonville Convalescent Center and she and Mom loved each other and I loved both of them. Audrey, my Mom and me had many good laughs together and I think of her from time to time. Continue to rest in peace, Audrey.

I always enjoyed visiting with Audrey at JCC when I would visit my mom. For quite some time, Audrey was one of the ladies assigned to the table where mom took her meals. She was always kind to mom even when mom was being a 'bit peculiar'. She was such a sweet lady!

Carolyn: I'm sorry to learn of your Mother's death but you and I know where she is now. As my Mother's first roommate at JCC, Mom and I loved her and I have many fond memories of our visits together. May God comfort you and yours during your time of loss.

Audrey was so special to my heart! When I took my students to visit the residents at JCC she and I created a wonderful bond! She would hug me and all of the children before we left and was always telling me what a pleasure it was that I brought the children to see them. Audrey will always have a special place in my heart! Love you Audrey and God bless your beautiful soul! Ms. Tina
