I learned of Audrey's passing a few days ago. I was shocked. During my time studying at Armstrong I became quite ill; the care and service given to me by Audrey was exceptional. She was a compassionate, caring, and good hearted person. It was a real pleasure meeting and knowing her. I pray that her soul is at peace and I pray that her family's strength carries on. Peace and Blessings.

In the short time that i had the honor of working with the 3 beautiful ladies at AASU, I am truly sad and heartbroken at the news of Mrs. Audrey's passing. She was a firecracker!! She was also extremely kind, gracious and sweet to us. She never made unwelcome and opened up to us with no hesitation. We grew very fond of her and I will always remember how much she talked and doted over her husband, kids(grand), and her dear mother...and also about those DAWGS. Rest In Love, dear Audrey.
