Dear Art:



Only learned of Audrey's death this afternoon. I am indeed very sadden by your loss. She was a kindred spirit and her death touches each of us.

A prayer has been described as the humble correspondence of the human spirit with the sum of all prefection, the foundation of life. So I ask the blessings of the Almighty for you and your family and to Audrey's family, asking that He look kindly on all of you. We are all thankful for a life well lived. Audrey has been our companion on our earthly pilgrimage. She is now a citizen of Eternity in that passing shadow of Time.......Willie J. Banks, Jr.

Mike and Dr. Greene,
My thoughts are with you and your family. Our losses are only temporary separations. I have lost several family members in recent days, one of them to cancer. Though I miss her presence, I smile every day because she doesn't have to suffer anymore.
