Aunt Audrey will always be remembered for her kindness and genuine love of all of us. I remember her sweet voice always interested in what you were doing, you being four years old or being forty years old. She treated everyone with dignity and respect and was always a gracious woman. I remember as a child of six, her pin curls, beautiful dresses and painting my grandparent's kitchen. Her cards for birthdays and special occasions let you know you were in her thoughts.She will always be loved and missed. The England Family, Donna
