I have many happy memories from Northern Virginia Doctors of Mrs. Rudy. She was great at sending e-mails in later years.
She will be sorely missed.

Aunt Audrey was the sunshine in our family. She always found the good in everyone. She laughed easily and enjoyed life. And we enjoyed her in our lives. Heaven is a brighter place now that she is there. Rest in peace Aunt Audrey and soar as an angel of God. Love, Stephanie Latterner
