The greatest of these is love' and she was loved so much because she loved so much
I love the childhood memories of the beautiful matching dresses and cardigans that Audrey stayed up so late in the night to craft with great love for her family. So hardworking and loving, wonderful cook and homemaker.
A truly Proverbs 31 gracious lady
"Her lamp does not go out at night...
Strength and dignity are her clothing...
She opens her mouth with wisdom
And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness,
Her children rise up and call her blessed...
Hugs to you all and my thoughts are with you in your loss of a life well lived.
