Cindy & John

A Very Special Couple!
John & Cindy have been attending our Sunday Dance for years. I knew John Audick when I was the dance director at Arthur Murray's. I introduced him to his first wife Mine who past away years ago. I also introduced him to his second wife Cindy! He has been such a good friend, husband, and devoted dancer! He past away May 30th but made a dedication to the Lord Jesus before! It was a nice show of support at the funeral. Cindy Audick appreciated it very much. Condolences for Cindy & family.
In Loving Memory of John L Audick.. January 15, 1931 - May 30, 2007: You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever.  Psalm 30:11-12
