Shuffle Off This Mortal Coil

I wanted to say something, I wanted to talk about my memories, but I just couldn't. My mind was going a thousand miles an hour in every direction. Despite being able to write and read copy for on-camera talent and personalities, when it comes to my own words, I'm at a loss. I stumble over my own thoughts. 
Audrey was a great friend, she was a spark, a spitfire and like many of the other speakers today reiterated, you couldn't tell her what to do. You didn't dare tell her no because she would go out of her way to prove you wrong. And did. 
She was a bright blazing meteor that lit up the sky. And then was gone. 
I've lost plenty of people close to me over the years. Family mostly, a few extended friends or associates. But Audrey was easily the closest person to me that wasn't related who was taken too soon. This one really hurts. 41 is far too young by any measure. Her departure, I'm sure, is going to follow me for years. Every time I go back to Disneyland, especially the area that used to be Mad T, I'm going to think about her and all the nights we'd be out there with the group of friends enjoying the show and having far too much to drink. Every time I go see the Spazmatics perform, I'm going to be looking for her and Larry to show up. I'll think about sending her a message just to see how she's doing like the countless times I had before. Only, she won't be there to reply. She's gone and left a little emptiness in my heart. I'm going to miss my friend. 
None of you are allowed to leave before me. I don't think I'd be able to go through this again. 💔
