Audra was my Great Aunt. She was so loving and caring and made me feel special. I will remember many happy visits and hugs. I’m glad for her, as she is with Great Uncle Chester, dancing with her Lord. I however am selfish, I wish she were still here. Love you so much.
Dear Brandon and family,
So sorry for your family’s loss…..no doubt she and your Pap were beloved by many. It surely was a joy for your children to know her…….they’re old enough they’ll remember her and that is good. 🤗🥰
