Not sure what to say?

Condolences to both the Elrod & Lakin Family. I met Audrey my sophomore year in high school. I went to Nile´s East and was introduced to her through a mutual friend. She was funny, sweet and tenacious. We quickly became friends, often running into each other throughout the next two years. Last time I saw her was the summer of 78 at the Skulnick party in Wilmett. She was a good friend and will be missed.

I worked with Audrey on many of her events. I'm retired now but I just want to pass through and reconfirm that Audrey was a very attractive woman with a wonderful soul, full of life, a kind lady with a radiant personality and glowing smile. She knew how to dress, always looked flawlessly put together. More importantly, I used make Audrey laugh as I'd turn the most serious of moments into very a funny situation. No doubt Audrey is in heaven making it a far more beautiful place than when...

Marilyn and Steven, I am so saddened and broken-hearted over this tragic news. I remember the sweet, adorable, cute little girl who grew into a lovely woman, mother and I am sure so much more. My thoughts are in your hearts and may her memory be for a blessing. Karyn Meyers Golden

I can’t begin to share the sorrow I feel and my families about Audrey’s passing. Too soon, unexpected and makes us all wonder how fragile our lives are. Her kindness to my children is unforgettable.
May she be somehow in a better place as she made our place a better place.

Larry Ginsburg and family

Offering our deepest condolences, what a sudden and shocking loss! Life is so precious. Sending love to the family.

My deepest condolences to Audrey´s family. I met Audrey 40 years ago through mutual friends and life got in the way and we lost touch with each other. I had the privilege of hearing her magnificent children speak and know Audrey must have been a most wonderful mother to have raised such fabulous kids. I wish I could run into Audrey and tell her what a great job she did! May her memory be for a blessing.
