In 1983, when I was 17 years old, I arrived in the United States as an exchange student and found not only a home, but a second mother. To me, she was my American mom. Her love crossed borders, languages, and time. Through letters and messages exchanged over the years, her warmth, care, and presence were a constant in my life. She shaped who I am in ways words can barely express. Though she is gone, her love remains-strong, comforting, and eternal.

I've known you Audrey, since kindergarten at Roosevelt Elementary School in Euclid. Could that actually be about 85 years ago?
It's hard to believe you've gone. It comforts Patty and I to know though that you're with Ed, a man you missed so much. We'll miss you and another classmate, Don Morlock playing Rummycube with us.

I still can't believe your life on earth is complete. I rejoice in knowing your soul is with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and your eyes can see clearly again. You gave so much for your family and I am forever in awe of the love you shared with so many. Rest easy now and I'll see you when I get there. Forever in my heart.
