We love you, Josh & Audrey

Our beloved Audrey Risa Sill was a deeply kind, thoughtful, sweet, and generous human. Audrey lost her battle with mental illness last week, leaving a large deficit to those who knew and loved her. Her husband, Josh, has been by her side in this fight and could use our support as he grieves this enormous loss. Josh has been back and forth to California where Audrey was currently living. He is now taking a month-long leave of absence from his job here in Asheville. If you have thought about how you can support him -- here it is.

His words describe Audrey to a letter:

"The thought of living in a world without your kindness, loving and caring nature, honesty, and beauty, is too unbearable to think about. It is devastating to lose you. I have loved no other more and you will be with me till my last breath. A part of me died with you today. Be free from your suffering and run and dance with your new body. I believe you have found peace. There will only ever be one Audrey Risa."

Let's show our sweet friend and community member that we love him and support him through this terrible time. Please share widely so we can take a small amount of stress from Josh's plate. Even if you can't donate, please send him -- and the rest of Audrey's family -- some love.
