Mrs. Audrey was a very outspoken lady and you always new where you stood with her. Oh the memories of her, my dad, Mrs. Ruth, Mrs. Maudine, Mr. Henry Peterson and the others during our Oakland Terrace days. Oh the memories of "the bench" and the trash talking that went on. Another very fond memory of Mrs. Audrey is when I gave birth to my son. Joshua couldn't have been but some "days" old. Mrs. Audrey came to the house and stated "I heard about this pretty baby that you had and I come to see for myself". It doesn't get any more honest than that. And I respected her for her honesty. Sleep on Mrs. Audrey and thank you for the childhood memories. You, my dad and Mr. Henry are probably having a ball up there talking about "the bench" days.
