I consider myself very fortunate to have known Audrey for so many years. Such fond memories to share with you, Lola. Thinking of you and yours at this difficult time. Blessings always.

Lola, Just happened to run across your mother's obituary. What a beautiful picture of her. Lola, you were a wonderful caring daughter. You have my deepest sympathy. See you when I return to Colo. Love, Roberta

I've know Auddie for over 30 years and I have never known her to utter a cross word. Always smiling, she attended many college functions with Lola, and she attended parties at my son's house and my house. She enjoyed my son's performances at the old Oriental theater in Denver. Auddie was like a mother to me, and she will be much missed. Always an elegant lady, she will surely dance with the angels in Heaven.

Be very happy that you were blessed to have this special lady in your life. Think of her often and smile. While it hurts so much to lose her now, be confident that you will see her again one day. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Audrey was vibrant almost to the end. She had a loving husband whom she has now joined once again. "Honeydew" has been waiting for her. God keep you, Audrey, and bless your family.

My grandma was about the sweetest lady you could ever hope to meet. I'll never forget her giggle, the way she loved her sweets (and still remained tiny), or the way she always loved unconditionally and with all of her heart. She was the glue that held the family together and will be deeply missed, yet remain very much alive in our hearts. Grandma, I hope there's a big party waiting for you in heaven where you can wear a pretty dress, dance, and laugh with many friends and family...can't wait to join in with you one day!
Love always and forever,
Audrey
