My thoughts and prayers are with David, Chris, Courtney and other family members. I met Audrey during our freshman year at NC State and came to know David, Chris, and Courtney over the years that Audrey and I stayed in contact. Chris and Courtney, you probably don't remember me but I use to come and visit your mom and dad during our young adult years. I came and visited some of the magnificent places that they lived while stationed at the Presidio, in Hawaii, I believe the last time that I saw Audrey was at your home in Virginia. I remember that we took in a day of museum sites in Washington, DC, and Chris referred to me as "the lady who likes to spend money..."
Even though we did not see or talk with each other very often, I considered Audrey one of my closet friends. I watched Chris and Courtney grow up through our annual Christmas card exchange...that of which I recently learned about Audrey's passing from David...
I cherish the times that Audrey and I shared running for hours across the NC State campus and surrounding areas, taking in Saturday morning all you could eat brunches at Meridith College after a long run, and singing Christmas Carols during our runs no matter what time of year...one of Audrey's requests...
Respectfully submitted with love..S. Jill Stikeleather
