Darcie, Andi, Suzie, John & Families,

I have grown up with all of you and am so very sorry for your loss. Your Mom was a wonderful woman and she will be sadly missed, just as your Dad is. My son RJ became friends with Frankie which shows us just how small this world is. Frankie, RJ sends his condolences to you as he knows how it is to lose grandparents.
We will keep all of you in our prayers and hope your closeness gives you the strength to live on with all of the wonderful memories. I know the ones I have of your parents are great!

Our Love & Prayers,
Tammy, Michael & RJ

Harry Johns,

I remember Audrey so well from the Penn Avenue schoolyard and all the games we used to play there. She always stuck up for me if I got hasseled by any of the bigger kids, and they were almost all bigger. A very nice and kind lady.
