Attachment
As a young child, Aunt Audrey was one of my favorite Aunts. It is funny how that happens. and why it happens to a young child. All my aunts were nice, but Aunt Audrey was different from the rest. As a child, I did not know how she was different, but she was and I liked her for it. On the very few occasions I visited her home, it seemed to be full of people having fun, laughing, joking and enjoying one another’s company. There was a hubbub and it was great! Over the years, our lives did not intersect, but I felt her kindness through her devotion to my mother, and I am grateful to her for it. She always reached out and always left a door open for my mother to pass through. I wish I had known her better.
It is certainly a rare individual whose eyes project their depth of soul. Eyes that possess the Lord’s light, that project His joy, compassion, patience, and love. A smile that backed it all up too! This picture of Audrey perfectly captures her essence and everything I remember, know and love about her! My mom always seemed to have a special relationship with Auntie Audrey, perhaps that is why I also paid closer attention to her. I will always be grateful for her generous and boundless joy and energy to bring family together whether it was for a shower of some sort, a family reunion, or every Christmas night as the relation filled her home to sing carols, eat and be merry. She was such a planner, always went that extra mile to make things special, with every event done in perfection! I have many memories of Audrey and they all encompassed her unending love of family and… her unending love of the Lord. Audrey had a faith beyond measure that she lived and shared, something i could sense as a child. It was with her hand upon my shoulder that I received the Holy Spirit in Confirmation. There was something powerful about having her there with me. I thank you Auntie Audrey for the memories of your life so well lived. I rejoice in your new Life now overflowing in God’s grace. I can only imagine the light in your eyes now! God bless this beautiful and strong woman. Eternal Peace.
this is my second attempt, hopefully not a repeat……

My mom always seemed to have a special relationship with Audrey and perhaps that is why is paid close attention to her. I will always be grateful for her generous and boundless energy to bring family together whether it was a shower of some sort, a family reunion, or every Christmas night when the whole relation filled her home to sing carols, eat and be merry. She was always the planner, went the extra distance to make it special and always delivered with perfection.
Audrey always exuded a love for family and….. a love for the Lord. Her faith was beyond measure and that was something I sensed even as a child. It was with her hand upon my shoulder that I received the Holy Spirit in Confirmation.
There was something very powerful about having her there with me. I hold special gratitude for her sense of intuition as she brought me many timely messages of faith, hope and strength at various moments in my life. She truly was a special woman. I thank you Audrey for the memories of a life well lived as I envision your new life in the radiance of God’s grace. I can only imagine the light in your eyes now!!!
Audrey was the mother of a dear friend of mine who was her daughter Ann. My friendship with Ann started in our twenties and thus overlapped with our subsequent marriages. I remember Audrey most especially for the awesome dinner that she had at her home prior to Ann and Steve’s wedding. Her home was modest but quite lovely. We had a fairly large group for the space but Audrey accommodated us all very well with table extensions in the living room. It created a very warm and inviting atmosphere for the occasion. In addition, her cooking was quite excellent! Italian overtones that I loved most especially with the salad. Upon inquiry I was told that the (unknown to me) and delicious addition was called pepperoncini. I still prefer my Italian salads this way after 40 years and always think of Audrey. I am glad that Ann had such a loving and wonderful mother!
Thank you SWEET Cathy for this wonderful memory of my mom! I appreciate it VERY much! It is so neat to hear and see what others have remembered of Mom….It helps me say good bye…and remember too! Love, Ann
