Every once in awhile someone who touches my life without me even realizing it. Three years ago I came across a reference to the “Adopt A Nursing Home” program in Texas. My search for information leads me to Audray Landrum in Tyler, Texas. We may have met on the How Much Joy Facilitators group on Yahoo. Anyway we connected and she sent me a wealth in information on the “Adopt A Nursing Home” program.
A year ago I moved and did not have easy access to the Internet and I lost touch with many people, including Audrey.
Today I decided to check out a publication she wrote for The Senior Voice. Her column wasn’t in the latest issue. I started back through the issues and found her last column in the June 2007 issue.
Going back to July I found a note that Audrey had moved to Chicago for cancer treatment. Further research revealed that she had passed away on October 23rd.
The Senior View reprinted the following quote. In their December 2007 issue
“I’ve come to understand that happiness doesn’t just happen, it requires
effort. We begin with the decision to be happy, we take action in search of
it and most of all we are willing to receive it. In this glorious season of celebration,
I hope you will seek and find a light heart. After all, we’re
workin’ for God!”
I’m going to miss Audray. We only talked once or twice and exchanged a couple of dozen emails.
Thank you Audray for your friendship.
