Audrey Elliott
my mother passed away at 11:50pm on march 18th. i was there holding her hand and giving her lots of kisses. i wasn't alone...my sister-in-law pam was with me too. both of us were scared and worried during the week prior that my mom would be alone when she passed...she wasn't. i don't know what i would've done without pam there with me. my mom never woke from the stroke and according to the doctors she wasn't in any pain. her body finally gave up. the memorial service is saturday, april 1st. pam made a comment that my mom would probably get a chuckle off the fact that her service is on april fools day. i'm doing okay...i have my moments of crying spurts and sadness...same with tom and david. life goes on whether we want it to or not. like i said in a previous post...i just miss her...her laugh, hugs, kisses and smile.

what a good and brave thing you did. holding someone's hand as they pass. that is probably one of the most important things you could have done for your mom....
seeing the pictures brought back memories of when all of us cousins were young, they were young, we were young, I do miss thoes days. Aunt Audrey was always smiling and very friendly to everyone. she would make you feel special.
She will be missed.
The last day i saw her was when i was visiting mom before she passes on last June. I was shocked one day when i was in the dinner hall, mom and here sat at the tables next to each other. audrey looked at me and said "philip". that all she said, just the one word. took me by suprise, she seamed to not recgonize again, but that one day she did.
I love her and Uncle Flip I think of them and the good old days, hell were all getiing older, are'nt we.
I will miss her service as i will be in Morroco when it happens this Saturday, but she will always reside in my heart and prayers
