My condolences go out to Esther and Leroy & Leroy Jr. Audrey was a wonderful person. Every time I saw her she was smiling and very bubbly. She had a good heart and will be missed. May God help you to find the strength to move forward as Audrey will always be in your heart. This is a tough time for you and your family but I wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts and in my prayers. I wish I could make it to the services to deliver my condolences in person and say my goodbye to Audrey as well. God bless you as you now have a beautiful Angel in heaven with her Angel watching over you.
Much love from: Michelle Sullivan (Michelle Salazar-Nichols)
