I was saddened to learn from a mutual friend that we had lost our bright shining light, Audrey, or as I called her, Audrey Lou. Audrey meant a lot to me and helped me to overcome one of the more significant challenges I have ever faced in my life. I was around when she went 'back to school' and pursued her license in massage therapy. We would joke around about all of the names of muscles and muscle groups that she had to memorize. Later, when I employed her as a licensed massage therapist, it was obvious there was none better. Audrey overcame a lot in her own life and passed that knowledge and experience to others. She had a gentle fortitude that I've not known in a lot of people. We had a lot of inside jokes together, so I am crushed to learn that she passed away 9 months ago, and I am just now learning about it. This makes me very sad and certainly does explain why she did not rsvp to a recent party invitation I sent her! ;( I regret not seeking her out to see how she was doing. I loved this bright shining light and learned a lot from her. She is missed.

I met Audrey in Washington DC about 16 years ago. She was a loving gentle soul. She will be missed greatly. My Prayers are with your family.

To the McMorrow family,
You may not remember me - Sherri Williams, but my sister Linda Lockett was friends with Audrey along with Carloyn Criss. My mom still has a picture of them as 5th graders at Central Elementary school. I remember Audrey because she was nice to me so long ago. John was in the same grade as my brother - Art, and I worked with Shelley at Woolworths.
I am sorry to hear of her passing. Please accept my condolences and know that she made a difference in this world - even for me. Thank you Audrey. Rest in peace.
God bless and comfort the family during this time.
Sincerely,
Sherri (Williams)

Audrey was such a gentle and lovely spirit. She laughed and it became infections and she cared about people. I had the privilege of attending massage school with her and working with her for a time. She was an excellent person and will be greatly missed.
