I am so sorry to hear about Audrey but I do know she was in much more pain than she wanted anyone to know. She was one of the sweetest persons I knew and always helped the kids out by giving them a job so they could have spending money and have some experience. She treated all the kids like they were her own and she has a special place in heaven. My son, Bud Clemons, loved her and was so upset when he heard about it because neither of us knew she had passed away. I am so sorry for your loss and Bud and I send our love and condolences to the family.

Audrey was such a great person with a huge heart and a great business sense. She was always so much fun to talk to and learn from. She and Glen were a huge help to me as I started my business 30 years ago. She loved her family and she will be missed by all who knew her.

Prayers and thoughts to the family...Audrey was a beautiful lady, both inside and out,she spoke her mind (like it or not).She was a great cook, anything she ever brought in to work I was eating, I miss those days. We're all in line of life waiting to punch the clock and go home. Lucky for Audrey, Glen is waiting for her at the door. She will be missed.

So very sorry to hear of Audrey's trip home. I was just thinking of her recently and wondered if she still came into Del's. Audrey was especially good to me and my sons. My oldest son was an employee of hers and passed at Del's. Audrey and her family became our family. She was so special. RIP Audrey. Until we meet again my friend.

Audrey, Glenn, and the rest of the family were all like family to me growing up. I have great memories of my mom (Wanda) taking me to work with her at Del Frisco's often. Audrey lived a beautiful life surrounded by people who cared about her. I am very sorry for your loss.

Audrey would always get you with a joke when she first met you, or first seeing you that day. She would wake up out of sleep asking if you were hungry. A few times she talked me into eating when I wasn't hungry! LolI know of a few times she nursed me back to health when I wasn't well. She mothered every kid who ever crossed her path. I saw her more than my own mother for a long time! Love You Audrey!
My Condolences To Family,

Audrey was my son's mother-in-law and a good friend. She was a very generous, loving person who never knew a stranger. She loved Elvis and could sing along with all of his songs. I am sure Glen was waiting at the gate to welcome her to Heaven. Rest In Peace , dear Audrey, with Love, Vince's Mom, patti
