From the time I could walk until the day she died, Aunt Audrey and I had a special relationship. She took my sister, Ruth, and I to see movies when my mom needed a break, but she could never understand why we didn’t like musicals. When my mom and dad bought a corner grocery store, she was the first customer and it helped immensely to have her support throughout my life. Whenever I came home for for the holidays, visiting her and Uncle Conny was a highlight. We confided in each other and she always gave me good advice, which I usually took. I miss her, and I cherish her memory. - Posted by: John Ellis (Nephew) on: Sep 11, 2023
