My sincere condolences to my cousin Audrey´s family. I just found out that she passed and have tried to reach her or her family for over a year, but I had no way to reach anyone with out knowledge of phone, cell or address numbers. We were first cousins, she and my brother were same age and her sister and I were same age but 9 years younger. Audrey was a caring, and loving person and a nurse like myself. I have many memories of her and would love to contact her children and tell them in person how sorry I am for them, of her passing. I hope they are able to read this and contact me. My cell phone is 516-359-2054 or home 843-796-1940.
