My deepest sympathy to the family, friends, and especially the daughters of Audrey. Who can understand or deal with such tragedy in their lives? I'm praying for God's comfort to surround you, and for a happy future for the girls. Jackie and Terry, such a huge burden you have had to carry, and continue to carry--but God gave you broad shoulders to do it. Stay strong! God bless you and your family.
Love you so much Aunt Jackie

I don't know the words I search for while trying to explain that my mother, and myself have lived our lives for Audrey and TJ. I have tried so hard over all the years to make sure they remained safe, I suddenly feel like I failed. Words can't describe the feeling over me of suddenly having a niece, a co-workder, a great friend, and practically a daughter ripped from my live. I have spend almost every waking moment with Audrey since she was living in my house and working with me. The bond began when she was a newborn baby, and has only grown stonger as she developed into a beautiful young woman. I pray each and every day that god will give us the strength to move forward and watch over us all, and to hopefully one day help us find peace in knowing that we are all safe. I worry each and everyday how Jaliyah and Jamora and my 2 children will be affected by this tragedy. The only peace I have for her passing, is once again she can be in the arms of her father (my brother - I love you and miss you) and her grandmother (my mom - love you and miss you so much). Audrey,I hope you know over all these years how much I truly loved you and everything you had become. In my mind you were perfect, I couldn't have asked for a better neice, friend, "daughter". I miss you so much and pray that you, your dad and Nana will watch over all of us in our time of sorrow. One day we will all be together again and until then, please hug your dad and nana for me, as to this day I still miss them as much as I did the days we lost them.

To the family,
My blessings go out to you in this time of sorrow. It is a tragedy for someone so young to be taken from us, but even more so from her young children. My well wishes to them and the family to make sure they are taken care of and helped to remember their mother. Jackie and Terry - Korysa and I have both of you in our thoughts and hope the memories of the day will perish with time. Take care of those little girls and keep the faith.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
"I Love You And Miss You Audrey!!!!"

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

To Audrey's daughters:
I know how you must not understand what happened to Mommy or where she went. But you must know that she will always be with you because you are her angels. When you aren't feeling well or scared she will be there holding your hand or rubbing your hair. She will never leave you totally.
I hope that someone will pass this message on to them as they get older. Believe me it will give them peace of mind to know that Mommy didn't leave them on purpose but is always with them through everything that happens to them in their life!
I am sorry for their loss and also to the rest of Audrey's family. I didn't know her personnally but I am very fond of her aunt and uncle. My prayers are with you!

Audrey,
I am so sorry I didn't get to see you more often over the years. At least I had the pleasure of talking to last year, I wish I would have had the chance to see you more.
I missed you then but will miss you even more now that I will never be able to see you again.
I Love you, and you will always be with me in my heart. I know you are in God's loving arms, and will see you again some day in Heaven.
TJ & Jenny I am so sorry for your loss, take care of each other for life can be so short.
Love
Great Grandmom

Audrey,
It saddens me that you are no longer here with us. You were truly a great friend. I am very thankful that we have so many great memories together. We met when we were so young, Maybe 7? The first day we saw each other you befriended me. Their wasn’t a day you and I didn’t spend together. We drove our parents crazy. You were always a happy girl, You had a beautiful personality, And that thankfully that will live on through your two girls. You are in my heart and prayers until the day we see each other again. R.I.P!
Jenn, Buddy and family you all will also be in my prayers and may god be with you.
Love,
Jamie Gray

Words alone cannot express my feelings, losing a son and granddaughter in the same family within 10 years is just overwelming.
My Name, means the rock, but at times like this I feel like am on sandy soil, I want the rest of the family to know even though I cannot be there physically I am with you always in spirit.
My prayers go to all who remain and remember we will see Audrey again , in God's time frame and in a better place.
Audrey we love you and miss you and look forward to that bright day when we all will be together again forever.
Love, Pop Pop Pete
