Audrey Mae was my good friend from the time I was 15 years old (I am 89 today!) I will miss her greatly! We kept in touch and visited each other thru the years. She and her husband were both attendants at my wedding.

I received word that Audrey was actually related to me way back down the line. Homer Webb was my dad and his dad was Walter Scott Webb and their ancestry came from Alfred Webb's son Coleman B. Webb. I have been researching my Webb Heritage so this is how I found out about your mother Audry. God bless you all as I know how it feels to lose your parents. I grew up in Robinson so Robinson is still very dear to my heart.
Love and hugs to you all, Marie
