Mrs. Audell was one of the kindest and most thoughtful persons I have ever known. It was a joy to teach her in Sunday School because she taught me many great life lessons. She was from the old school and truly exemplified a Godly woman who loved everyone around her. This love was shown in many ways. I love you and will miss you.
