Audrey Ostler Read

I'm very sorry that Grandma Read died from cancer. i remember when we always went to her house and ate dinner in her back yard. I wish that I got to spend more time with her.

Grandma, thank you for being such a great example of love, dedication, hard work, and service to your family. What a great legacy you leave behind. We miss you.

I have thought a lot lately of my last visit to Grandma & Grandpa's home in Boise, the weekend has been playing out in my head. The time spent with Grandma, the shock I felt in the decline of her health, the time with my own Mom and my reflection of our own relationship. The plans made, the thoughts of my mother losing her mother, a promise given that a funeral would be held on a spring day. When the surprise of Grandma's death came to us as a phone call on a Friday night, a promise not...

It is hard to believe an entire year has passed since Grandma left us. Last year as we lived far away i asked for friends to send Christmas fabrics so I could decorate our African home for the holidays. We learned of Grandma's death on a weekend-and on Monday afternoon a package came with fabrics she had sent me.

She was and continues to be a pillar in a great and strong family. I will always remember her undying loyalty for her friends, her family and her Savior. I don’t know if anyone has expressed gratitude as completely, purely and meaningfully as I have seen her do so. I appreciate who she was, who she is, and who she will always be as she lives on in the...

Well it's time for me to sign this again. It's been a year now without mom and I miss her everyday. The most interesting thing about it though is that I miss her exactly the way she was, not some idealized version of her but everything about her, the great and the frustrating! Whenever someone asks me if I dye my hair or when I need to ask about a recipe or when I just want to brag about what my kids are up to. She was my friend, my example, she is my mom. I am so honored to be Mac and...

I love my Grandma Audrey. She always tried to make me feel happy. I really miss her. She always would try to relate to me. She loves her grandchildren. I wish she was still alive. She went through a lot with me. I love her So much. She is Awesome.
