To Richard and the Tison Family, It is with deep and profound sadness we write this note. We just heard about Sis. Audrey's home-going and we're very sorry for your loss. Sis. Audrey lived with her eyes on eternity. Watching her serve her family, her Church family and to those outside the Church was truly amazing. The Grace which poured out of that precious servant of Jesus was contagious and a beautiful thing to observe. We pray God's richest blessings of comfort upon you, Bro. Richard, as your journey continues on towards eternity. We love and appreciate you all very much. -Mark and Mary Johansson
