Today we said goodbye to my beautiful Aunt Audrey. I managed to hold it together during the funeral but it wasn't till we all went back to my parents house and our family was sitting around talking, my Uncle Vince taking a nap in the recliner, that it hit me we were missing one very important person. Her laughter could fill the room and I can still hear her telling me not to do something. My heart is breaking, but I know she is up in heaven having a ball, drinking a glass of tea and bossing people around.

Audrey, obviously, had a beautiful Smile! She and Vincent were blessed to have such a long marriage...and Vincent was so caring and faithful to her...a positive example and testimony. Prayers for Vincent and the family as they experience Audrey's loss... and grieve. May the Lord provide Comfort! (Reggie and Ann Scheu Garland, Texas)
