Audrey was such a sweet and special lady, she reminded me a lot of my own mother. Having been neighbors for 15 years we had a good friendship and loved all the time I spent with her. We had such great conversations, so easy to talk with. Loved her and I will miss her very much. My heart goes out to her beautiful family at this most difficult time.

Dear Family,
I met Audrey while walking my dog Charlie, and he always had to take a break under her tree. She would either be in the window, or out in the front decorating her beautiful entrance. I will always cherish our talks.
You know right away when someone is a genuine person!
God Bless you Audrey, I will miss our you dearly!
Sincerely, Roni Kardos
