Had to share a little "trail" that Auna left behind at my place. I can't think of many people quite as sweet, positive, and accepting as this one. My heart is with her closest friends and family. Sending all the prayers for peace and strength amidst this tough time. She'll be missed by so many. Until the next season! 🙏🏻❤️

Auna, you were a light in my life. You were a loyal friend, the first one to suit up and show up when a friend was having a difficult time. You loved your family and your friends. You wanted to live a full life, and you wanted the people around you to have lives that felt worth living. From going together to rescue Benji, to nights on the couch, to adventures in Wicker Park, you made me feel loved and important. I will miss you endlessly, and forever. Until we meet again, Aun. 🩷

Honestly, I still haven’t fully processed the fact that you’re gone. It just feels like last week. I was asking about your trip in Europe and watching you interact with those monkeys but honestly, I know you’re in a better place now and I look forward to seeing you again someday Rest In Peace Auna.

Gone far too soon, but never forgotten. May her love for life and the memories she leaves behind bring comfort to all who knew and loved her. Sending heartfelt thoughts and prayers to David, Anita, Amy, Angela and their extended families during this incredibly difficult time. ❤️

Sending my deepest condolences to Auna’s sisters, her parents & all of her loved ones. She was just a freshman stepping out into the court for volleyball tryouts, I was a senior varsity player on the team as well. I just remember all of her volleyball friends/teammates just migrated to her so much, you can tell she was the “life of the party”. As the season went on, I got to know the Auna, that everyone loved dearly. She was sweet, a little wild! But funny and caring! Rest up Auna♥️

Auna was so many things to so many people. I thought I knew that already, but it had been made much more evident in her passing. Thoughts and prayers to the Mcgaugheys during this difficult time.
