Well, a LOT of time has passed since you left this life so unexpectedly. (over 11 yrs now)
I still think of you and miss you just as much as I did way back then. But I have HOPE....a word that brings me peace, because I know I will walk & talk with you again sometime in the future, up in Heaven. I just have to hold on to our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ and make it to my final journeys end.
I have remarried to a really great guy named Rich. Grover has passed away. (June 2016) Kim is still raising the boys that you will LOVE to pieces when you meet them!! Amanda, Michael & Jade are all grown. :)
YOU are a Grandmother.....Wow!! And Jade is having her second child this Jan. 2017. Silas is giving her plenty of love right now to satisfy you not being here. :)
I love you my daughter! I ask God all the time to "Take good care of my girl" I trust him!! Until later.....know that my heart's door is still open to your love & your memories. One day soon I will hold you and this time, I am NEVER letting GO!!
(Reminds me of a poem I wrote just for you when you got married) ...."Letting Go".
Until Later.....all my love, your mother.

Audrey I just wanted to tell you that I was thinking about you today. You would be so proud of Jade and what a great job she is doing raising your grandson. I know you are watching over them and protecting them every step they take. I know the holidays are the hardest days for the family but they are getting stronger and stronger. I know it's getting easier everyday for them but you will never be forgotten. May you rest in heaven with the greatest Father of all.

Hello baby. I have already broke down & cried 3 xs over the past couple of weeks. I miss u so very much! The Holiday Season (Thanksgiving & Christmas) always are so sentimental to me. I miss u worse around these times. I am so sorry your friend Kelly had to find out about your passing this way!!! It definately was a shock to all of us. I miss your laugh, your smile, your determindness, & your surprises. You brought me more joy the last 3 wks of your life than u can ever imagine! Just to have you open up to me & to share all that was going on in your life, meant everything to me. I will never be complete again until I am in Heaven with you. Life still has this emptyness that never ceases, because only you can fill that spot! I use to always tell u & Kim both growing up, "No one can ever take your place". You were your unique self, & she was hers as well. She could not take your place, just as you could not take her place. I loved you both!!! You were both gifts from God!
Gifts that I will hold dear & cherish 'til the day that I die.
Until later...............all my love,
your mother!

Dear Audrey,
I have been searching for you and Kim off and on over the years since I left Georgia. I never expected to find you like this. I'm so saddened because I was looking so forward to finally being able to be in touch someday and now that I've found you, you're gone. What happened? I left the only home I ever knew and moved to Georgia to be with Gary. I missed my family so much, but you and Kim took me into yours and I'll never forget you for that. Thank you for all the good memories we shared. And I hope Kim reads this and gets in touch with me. I'd love to talk to her again. You are missed and loved.

Just had your daughter for a few wks here recently. She looks more like you everytime she comes............espec. this trip! She is such a joy to have around. You would be so proud of her because she is such a loving person ....like you were. But you would flip out if you saw her grades this past yr!!! ha ha
I miss you my child & was so glad to have your baby with me again. Seeing her (without her knowing I am watching) brings bk memories of you. I love you dearly...............until we meet again in a much better place, take care.

Hello my beautiful baby cousin.I am sooo looking forward to spending some time with Jade & just getting to know her better.The last time I saw her was when you all came to Cali to see us.I cherish those 2 days that we got together.It was nice seeing Austin,Kennedy & Jade play together.We always said when we were younger that we wanted to raise our kids up together so they could be as close as we always were.Jade looks sooo much like you the older she gets.It makes my heart smile.She has the most beautiful big blue eyes...Lol I only live a few hours away from Aunt Gail & family.I am anxious 2 come visit you..so we can talk.I can't even put it into words how much you are loved & missed.My love for you Audrey will always be inside my heart always.I try not to seem selfish to GOD...But,Ohhh how I wish we had you back.I know GOD had something much more special for you in heaven.One day....we will meet again in Glory.

Well I wrote you the other day before your birthday, but I don't see it. I must not have done something wrong. Well what I said was I was having a biospy on your birthday and I told you not to let the doctor hurts me, and to take care of me. Well, I went to hospital to have the biospy that friday and they could not do it. So, the postponed it untill monday. So, I went and had it done monday. And the doctors didn't hurt that much. So, I thank you and the Lord for taking care of me. Now just waiting of the results. Happy belated birthday. I love you and MISS YOU. I think about you often. Sometimes I wish I could go and be with you. So, I don't have to go through all this cancer stuff, but my mom keeps on pushing me to go to doctors and stuff, to take care of me. I tired of it. I want them to leave me alone, but I keep going for my mom and my daughter and husband. MISS YOU

Well baby,
We made it thru our yrly hard week!!! March 20 (when u died) March 25 (when u were buried) & again on March 26 (on your 35th Birthday).
Your Birthday was a GOOD DAY!
Kim & Amanda picked such beautiful Spring flowers & put out for you. We all sang Happy Birthday to you and I also had some t-shirts made up w/ your picture on the front. They turned out great & we all wore them! Judy's words were so sweet & encouraging. I KNOW you have it made. God has been so good to us this past yr, actually forever. He is always good, always healing, blessing, supplying our needs, and has blessed me w/such a good family. I AM BLESSED!!! Until we meet again............. (sounds like Roy Rogers, huh?) ha ha

Hey Audrey,
These 5 years have passed by so quickly, that in no time we also will be called away to share the joy you now have. I look so forward to seeing what your eyes have already beheld and to feel the love of our Saviour that you already feel. Enjoy all the special moments you now have, for in due time you will have to share!!! We love you and miss you terribly. Love, Sis. Judy

My sweet Audrey it's been a little over five years since you have left us. This year it was even harder because I lost my niece on the same day we lost you. I know you both are up there in heaven looking over us. Your mom and Kim love and miss you so much. I love and miss you.

Five years ago today,the Lord Jesus called you home. He said he had a plan, and gave you a long white robe. He said he'd take your pain and replace it with healing balm, and exchanged your tempral dwelling place to invite you to his home. The tears you had from life on earth were bottled up and kept. For whatever reason I'm not so sure, but thankful they have left. A crown of life awaits you now, and angels bid your call. Oh you have got an awesome life and are happiest of all. We love and miss you dearly. Your memories will always be, held deep within our heart's locked doors, and never will they cease. You're walking in a better place, your journey is complete. To be with Christ in all his care makes life up there so sweet.
I love you Audrey, ................
Your mother,

"Merry Christmas" my precious! Ohhh it is so hard on me when I think of our last Christmas we shared. Literally a lump has just formed in my throat. How many yrs does it take for the pain to go away??? I think of you all the time, but just keep busy, because when I don't I cry, hurt, and ache wanting to be with you, wishing you were here. Christmas is so special ..............but it is so hard on my heart when your hugs, smiles, presence is not where it use to be.......with us. God is our strength and ONLY by his grace can we overcome the pains of this life here on earth. I am grateful for HOPE, His blessed hope............that one day, we'll be with you & our Savior!!! I love you baby, "Merry Christmas" ....
love, your mother

Hello baby,
As I started over to Amanda's today to be with all the family gathering there for dinner, my heart just broke as I passed by the cemetery! I miss you so very much. The emptiness inside a mother's heart for her child that is no longer there, has GOT to be the biggest hurt in the world. I love you and want to talk to you and see that beautiful smile. I have just got to be patient; one day in Heaven I WILL see you again.
Christmas today brought back memories of Christmases gone by. The laughter, the gift swapping, etc. (Litterally, we were swapping out our gifts you sent to all of us for each others we liked better .....amoungst ourselves!) ha
KNOW YOU ARE SPECIAL, AND WE ALL MISS YOU TERRIBLY BAD. Until later, take care,
All my love & more..............

Dearest Audrey,
Happy Birthday! We miss you terribly and think of you many times, and whenever I am out near your resting place, I stop to see what your Mom has done to beautify your special spot. I remember not to long ago on your Mom's special Birthday, when you came down from Illinois to suprise her. I remember the total look of surprise and love written on her face as she ran to hug you. And that look of sheer joy and love was on your face also. Cindy Morgan and I were sitting together and we both spoke of that moment in time, when two people with such love for each other was shown and we were there to share in those memories. We were blessed!!! Love you much! Sis. Judy

Time to head out to Cooper Creek to start walking. I remember our last time together there. (With Kim, & the kids, and you & I) We had soooo much fun! The weather is getting so beautiful. The birds sing in the mornings & wake me up. The bees are all over the flowers that smell of springtime. "New Beginnings"

Guess what today is????
It's your Aunt Charlotte's Birthday! She would sure love for you to just "pop in" like you were always so good at doing. You always had time for everyone, don't know how you did it. You were always so spontanious, so unique, so YOU!!!
Just know that I love you, and I will always love you. I have spoken of you to everyone here lately. Don't know why you are on my mind so much. Be good, and I will "holler at cha" later.
All my love, Mom

Audrey,
It's been awhile since I wrote to you but i've been busy with the kids and work. It's not getting easier only harder. I know God will only put me through what I can handle but sometimes I feel I can't hold up. I just keep my head up and keep going. Hopefully it will get easier. I've been going through a program to buy a house and they say that by the end of summer I should have one. I'm glad because I feel i need to get myself and Kendra out of the house we are in because of the bad thoughts that formed there. Kendra's getting better and so am I but it's hard. I love you very much and miss you just as much. One day I will see you again. huggs and kisses XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

To all of the family,
my mother was a good person; everyone loved her, she was good at making friends,and she had such a beautiful voice that even Simon would have to compliment her. She was so loving, and helpful. When she worked at cafe max, she would talk politely to everyone that she met.then they would return and ask "where is that pretty little waitress that i met yesterday?Almost all of the country was affected when she died. As for me, no more hugs, and stories. No more songs to cheer me up,and no mother.i miss her dearly, and wish more than anything that i could see her one last time.she has taught me very much in her time, and i hope to never lose her memory.

"Merry Christmas" my child.
Wow, what a busy day it was, but filled with lots of food, fun, and laughter. And of course tears as well, because of my love for you and your absence. I don't quess I will ever get over missing you!
Just the other day I drove by the place where we were having our LAST phone conversation, and I also was at another place which happened to be the LAST place that I took your LAST picture. My heart gets so heavy at times, I feel it will break, but then I know you would be so sad to see me that way and so I just wipe the tears, say "God knows best" and keep going on. Just wanted to say I love & miss you tremendously. I will never forget one of the last Christmas' that you were here on this earth. You had sent a BIG box of Christmas for everyone here to my address on Wellborn Dr. As we were taking out the purses you had made for us, and the candles and the baskets, we were all laughing and swapping them all, even though you had all our names on them. We said, "She will never know". ha ha
What wonderful memories. You were always making them in some form or fashion and I will cherish them forever! Take care and thanks for helping me to remember, it doesn't always have to be about us, ourselves, but about doing for others that counts. You have taught me, your own mother so many precious things after you grew up! I love you baby, keep those angels busy up there cleaning my mansion, 'cause it won't be long before this ole life will be over and then............Heaven.
I love you,
All my love,
Your loving mother Gail

Hello my precious baby!
Do I have some good news to share w/u today!!! Amanda had her little boy Dayvontae on Pastor Sheppard's birthday.....Nov. 25th. Well today, she dedicated him to the Lord at church. Then to top it off, she received the Holy Ghost today and has decided to dedicate her life to the Lord. She is soooo happy! Audrey, this is the first time I have been this happy since YOU told me that you were starting back praying again and turning everything over to the Lord. (almost 3 yrs ago) God is finally going to give me a family to love and have things in common with after all!!! I have cried and prayed and waited years for this. I am overwhelmed at the goodness of God! I have always wanted a family to share love and laughter with, to build memories with. To enjoy the blessings of God with, his power, presence, his love. This is so wonderful!!! God is giving it to me, finally, after yrs of tears and prayers and dedication and yes, ......."Walking by Faith".
Just HAD to share the good news w/u. All the angels in heaven rejoiced today! And so did I!!!
All my love,
Mom

He is so perfect Audrey, I am so proud to be a grandmother everytime I look at him. He will call me MEME, that dont sound to old does it, HA. I did miss you not being there in person, I did really good till they ask me to cut the cord, yes I thought I was going to faint.

Hello baby,
It's your mother, trying to retire for the night, but............had to just say "one more time" as you use to say, that I love you! I too had you on my mind so strong yesterday on the 6th of Nov. As a matter of fact, I just started crying and can't even remember what it was that made me think of you. I just know that I miss your smile and laughter and all your craziness. You were the child I prayed soooo hard for God to give me, .........and he did. One day in Heaven I will get to see you, and hold you and be with you and also my Lord. That will be the happiest day of my life. God bless you my child. Your loving mother,

Audrey,
Hey sweetie!!! It's been a little over 1 month since I wrote. I think of you often. Kim has finally found her a place and it's real nice. I know she's glad to have her own place again. Amanda is doing good and we only have 5 more weeks until the baby comes. Amanda is getting so nervous. You should see her she's getting so big. This baby is going to be huge. I can't wait. Micheal is doing good in school but of course Amanda and Micheal are arguing like brother and sisters do. I haven't been out to your resting place lately but I need to go soon. I've just been having alot going on in my life. I love and miss you so much. I will see you again one day. Love you always

This is for you Audrey,with love.
They say that memories are golden,well maybe that is true-we never wanted memories Audrey,we only wanted you.Many times we have needed you,Many times we have cried,If love alone could have saved you,You never would have died.In life we loved you dearly,In death we love you still,You have made a place in my heart no-one could ever fill.If heartache's built a staircase,and sorrow built a lane-I would walk the path to Heaven,and bring you back again.Our family chain is broken,and I have lost a true friend.But as GOD calls us up one by one-We will soon link again.

"Good Morning" my precious angel.
Just wanted you to know that it thrills my heart when I hear of how people still are asking about you at the Cafe' Max where you use to work in Culver, Indiana! You touched many lives, but especially mine! I think of you often; your smile, your laugh, your craziness, and spontanious impulses to do things for people or to go places on the spur of the moment! You have brought love and laughter into the lives of many hurting people and always made them feel so special, no matter what their occupation or financial status; nor creed, nor race. I love you and miss you! It is great to be able to remember you for you love, and giving, for your warmth and time that you always gave to all those that entered into your life.
You sure left a "Legacy" and I am so proud of you.
All my love,
Susie Mahler

For Audrey's family,
We at the Cafe Max still think of her fondly. Just last week a customer was asking me about the sweet southern girl who use to work here. He of course meant Audrey. He was saddened to learn we lost here. He shared stores of their encounters and how wonderful he thought she was. Hope Jade is doing well. Would be great to see a photo of her. Susie Mahler

Hey baby,
I was lonesome yesterday and decided to give you a call. It has always helped me, just to hear your voice when I get sad. Then I realized I couldn't and that made me more sad. I couldn't call my mother,....... nor you. The other day I also felt like Kim was really hurting. I felt so impressed to do something really nice for her. So, I picked her up a dozen yellow roses and a card & went to see her. Of course she cried..........then I cried. She said, "Mom, you just don't know how bad I needed this. I have had so much on me, and going through so much." Mothers just always seem to know. You know, God must have really had something important he needed you for. Can't wait to find out all the answers to everything. Just take care, and know that you are loved. Grover, Michael and Amanda are all fine. You do know that you are fixing to be a "Great Aunt" don't you? And you didn't even have to do a thing to get that title. Just think, your sister is going to be a "Grand Mother". Ohhh that sounds kind of funny right now. I'VE always been the "Grand Mother"! ha ha
I love you baby, keep all the angels straightened out and I will see you when the time is right. All my love......now, and always

Hey Audrey! It's been about 4 months since I wrote to you. I've been thinking about you but just haven't had the time to write. I started a new job at the end of July. I'm now with the school district. I love my job much better. It's easier and alot less stressful. Kim and the kids are doing well. I'm trying to get Amanda to go back to school. She really needs her diploma and she is so close to finishing. Micheal is doing good in school. Yes Audrey I keep up with the family. I love your whole family like they were mine. Well I'm not going to keep you because I have some work to do.
Your loving mother, Gail Meszaros
September 10, 2007
Hey Audrey,
I wrote to you about a couple of wks ago, but for some reason it didn't show up. Hmmmmmm?
Grover & I have moved closer to you. We now live on Edgewood Rd, just a few short blocks from where your "resting place" is. For those that need to know, Audrey's burial place is at Park Hill Cemetery off Macon Rd. Lot 109, in Columbus, Ga. Her soul is "asleep in Christ" right now.
Jade is wanting to come live w/me and I couldn't be happier just thinking about it. I pray that this happens!!! She needs to know of God, his love, his presence, and be raised to love, fear, and serve the Lord, according to his word.
It would just thrill my heart to have my child's child in my care. I love her and she is a small part of Audrey. Hopefully this will come to pass. Just had you on my mind, and wanted to leave a short message. God bless you my child,
I love you
& I miss you too!

Audrey,
It's been awhile since I wrote. I went out to see you on Mothers Day. Actually me, Kendra, Joey, Becky, Larissa, Tyra and my mom. Becky said that this is the first time she has been out there since your burial. She thought your picture on the stone was so pretty. Becky and I sat there for a little bit talking about old times with you. We had a few laughs and of course my mom and the kids couldn't understand what we was laughing at. We will keep it our little secrets. Kim is doing good but working so much that she doesn't have time for anything. Well I love you and I'm at work and need to get back to work so I will write to you on another day. LOVE YOU?

Dearest Audrey,
Hey my baby. "Home Coming" was today at the church. The only thing that was missing was you! .........and Kim!
One day, there will be a "Home Coming" that will be very grand!!!
Jesus is trying to warn everyone, to get ready for His soooon return.
NOTHING IS WORTH MISSING THIS!!!
I love you my darling child. I went out to see you again this wk and put in some fresh flowers. People are always stopping to talk to me, and several have become "regulars". They inquire of how I am doing since buring you, or how your resting place looks, etc.
Jade is coming soon to spend some time w/us. Can't wait to bring her to see you. She is so special to me, so much a part of you!
Until later, my child, rest in peace. I'll see you in the rapure!!
All my love, your mother

Dear Audrey,
"Happy Mother's Day"!! (from Jade)
As I spent time with you today sitting under the shade of the little tree with your wind chime blowing in the breeze, I missed you. I sat there putting your flower arrangement together for your vase, and I felt like a country girl! ha
The sun was shining, the breeze blowing, the birds chirping, the chimes ringing and lots of people everywhere visiting their mothers on this special day.
Jade could not be here today, so I wished you a "Happy Mother's Day" for her.
You are still loved and still missed. Keeping busy keeps my sanity over losing you. And of course the Lord has been my #1 strength and help through our loss. His comfort is soooo real!
I love you my child, and live to see you again one day. Take care and get my mansion all cleaned up real good for me!!! ha
All my love,
Mom

Audrey,
Well Kim is finally back from all her training and she is so happy to be home. She has now completed everything so no more out of town trips for her. She told me this weekend that you have really been on her mind. I don't know if something is bothering her if you are just on her mind. I'm not going to write alot because I'm at work. Just wanted to say hi and that we miss you. Love ya.

Audrey,
Well it's been almost 1 month since I wrote. I'm so proud of Kim she is struggling with this new job by doing training out of town. I was worried that she wouldn't make it but once again she went to Fla. for training but made it back successfully. She only has one more training out of town to do and that starts this weekend. I know she can do it. I know it's you that is guiding her through this. She misses you so much. She use to cry every time she talked about you but now she is stronger and only talks about the good and funny times with you. We was talking last night of how Amanda's driving was just like yours. It's funny to think about how she is like you in so many ways. One of the girls I work with lives in your old house on University Ave. and a truck went through her living room. As I looked at her pictures I thought about you and Jade living there. There was so many memories in those pictures. Well I'm not going to keep going because I'm at work. We love and miss you very much.

Dear Audrey,
It's been a really long time since I have written you but I think of you often and I read entries from others and cry. You have touched so many people and you are soooo loved, Audrey. I told your mother the last time I was in Columbus that I had a picture of us together and that I would try to get it added to your album. I just did! Yea me! I am ashamed that it's the only photo I have of you. I'm sure your mother and sister have not seen it so I wanted to share my little piece of you with them and others who love you. I wish it was clearer but you can still tell how pretty you were even in 1989.
Love and Miss you.

"Happy Easter" my dear daughter!
Just was reminising of times gone by, of egg hunts,and new Easter clothes, and how beautiful you and your sister were. I remember once giving Kim a real Easter bunny and she lost it. We finally found it down in the vent, where she had taken the trailer floor vent up! ha ha. Yes, it was still alive. ha ha.
I remember how pretty you looked in your lavendar Easter top w/your white shirt. The picture I still have of you, Kim and Chris, John & Lisa all together. We all miss you very much. Today, I didn't have you, Kim, Jade, nor Grover w/me. But, I had my 2 precious grand children Michael and Amanda and God always fills in the gap when someone is missing. He is such a comforter! Just had you on my mind and in my heart. Until later.............All my love.

Audrey, I knew your Mother before you were born and she was so excited when she found out you were on the way! We were expecting at the same time, you were born in March and my daughter was born in Septmeber. You were loved and wanted very much and that love still lives on through your Mom and Kim. You are missed every second of every day! God only has the wisdom and knowledge of this life, and we have to trust Him to know best. love, Susan Stephens

Audrey,
I did not know you,in this life, but if you are anything like your mom (which everyone says you are)...then I know your hugs are the bomb! If you are as sweet as your daughter Jade...then your're a choclate bar w/cherry filling. If you are as funny as michael...then you are fun to be around. If you are as friendly as Kim...then you would make me feel like family....Yes, I did not know you in this life, but through your family ....I do,love you!
