I just now learned about Audrie’s passing. I have missed her very much since she left Albuquerque, NM in late June a couple years ago. Although I didn’t hear from her again as she promised she would “keep in touch” once settled in her new home, I think of her fondly often and will always treasure the visits we shared here at Three Fountains Apt. homes here in Abq. Peace and blessings to her family always.
