If flowers grow in heaven
Then pick a bunch for me then
Place them in my mother's arms
And tell her that I love and miss her
And when she turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon her cheek and
Hold her for a while.
Mom, Thank you for being our inspiration.

To the entire Gutzman Family....I have such very fond memories of Aunt Audrey that I will take with me forever. She always had a smile and was always willing to take the time to chat. Her faith was beautiful, and she will be missed.
Love to you all, Laura

Missing you grandma. You were such an amazing woman/wife/mother/grandmother and great grandmother. You now can watch down upon all of us and guide us all in the right direction. Now you are ableb to be with your husband as well as your boys that have been missing for a long time. I am sure they are all happy to have you back home with them as well as your grandson that is there with you. I am sure the dogs are just loving the fact they have mama there with them. We miss you. I also want to say thank you for being a wonderful grandma/great grandma to me and my girls. Love you Nici,Jordon and Destini.

Your entire family is in my prayers. What a wonderful woman Aud was. I remember her words of wisdom along with Don's when we would sit in the kitchen and talk. May all the wonderful memories help you all through this time. I am sure that the two of them are glowing with pride from the legacy and beautiful family that they created. Gods blessings and love.
