My Best Friend Audrey

I will forever cherish my memories of this incredible friend, who embodied so much of what is good in humanity. Her spirit and capacity for compassion and understanding, for acceptance, love and forgiveness. She was a champion of causes for all living things. She truly "lived" her life with all the passion and courage of a person who was not afraid to admit weakness or fear. She faced every struggle with dignity and would not admit defeat. She was a fierce protector and advocate for her children, a loving mother, wife, and friend. She challenged us all by her example to fight the good fight, to take a stand and believe in ourselves and the goodness of others. I will miss her strength and her laughter, her words of encouragement and her loving support as my dearest friend.
