Valerie Paul’s best friend was aghast at the image in the mirror.

The two worked together at Rockledge Country Club when Audrey Unkle was diagnosed with Stage IV ovarian cancer. Chemotherapy took its toll.

“She was very, very much about her hair,” Valerie said, sitting in the front room of her Rockledge home recently. “When she lost her hair, she showed me her head one time in the bathroom, and she said, ‘I’m so ugly now.’ And I said, ‘No. You don’t see what I see.’

“I thought she looked beautiful.”
