My sympathy to you and the family be strong God got you 🙏

Audrey, I will miss your quiet and unassuming demeanor and smiling personality

I am still in a state of shock, as my friend of over 50 years has left me suddenly. Audrey and her wonderful husband Marcus welcomed me from the UK to their home in Florida in 1996. I loved the dynamics between their children Chad, Judd, Jamie, Joel and the long awaited girl the beautiful Johanna, and themselves, truly a beautiful family, Audrey was also instrumental in connecting me and my late husband Errold, hence the reason she’s so dear to me.
“Well done thy good and faithful servant” Go to your eternal rest. 🙏🏽 May the good lord continue to comfort Marcus, the children and the entire family.

My sister-in-law was a good woman, a good mother, and a good wife, leaving those she loved with a great legacy.

Rev Valerie V. Blake
“…Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the spirit,
that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.”
Please accept my condolences. I pray the Lord will strengthen and sustain you in this difficult
season of your lives.

Audrey will certainly be missed. Her quiet, gentle demeanor, easy smile and chuckle, and the rich alto of her singing, are all fondly remembered. Her contribution to the musical excellence that was the Ocho Rios Baptist Chorale 1979 – 1985, was steady and committed. News of her passing was a shock, tempered by the sure and certain knowledge that being absent from us, she is in the presence of the Saviour whom she loved and served faithfully. Condolence, prayers, and best wishes to her husband, children and all her siblings who remain dear and remembered at this time. Even at the grave, we make our song, Alleluia, Alleluia, ALLELUIA!!!

Dr. Couchman and Family,

On behalf of myself, and your VB4LIFE Family, we’d like to extend our sincere condolences on the passing of your wife. While no words can truly compensate for the loss you may be feeling right now, I hope you’ll find solace in knowing that “…to be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord”. Please know that you, and your family, are in our thoughts and prayers.🙏🏾
Sincerely,
Dr. Charles Butts – VB4LIFE

My sincere condolence to the family of our dear Audrey. I had the privilege of speaking to Audrey in June of this year. We had a long conversation and spoke of our days as young people, growing up together in the Ocho Rios Baptist Chorale. I admired Audrey as she always carry herself in a very dignified manner. She was so soft spoken and approachable. I also tried to sing alto and felt like I could because I was standing in the alto line with Audrey and the other wonderful alto singers.
Rest in peace my friend. I know you will be singing with the angles. You are just gone ahead of us, we will meet again.
Audette Francis – Isaacs

Audrey was my dear friend and an inspiration. Her gentleness, humility and quiet strength have graced many of our conversations even when we disagree and her humor has calmed many a tense moments. During our last conversation we talked about our favorite topic, our awesome, gracious and amazing Savior. Audrey you will be missed but our grief is tempered by the conviction that you are in His presence and we will see you again. You have left behind a legacy of grace, beauty, generosity and love and your wonderful family who I have no doubt will continue to expand your legacy throughout their lives. Rest in peace my wonderful friend.

My sincerest condolences in the passing of your beloved wife. Earth has no sorrows that heaven cannot heal.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

A live well lived; the combination of grief matched to such eternal hope is an arrangement only afforded by the triumph of our Lord over death and the grave. Prayers for Marcus and family

I know she’s with our Lord Jesus Christ, just pray for her family to stay strong during this time, my condolences to my friend Marcos Couchman!

Audrey was such an amazing woman who walked in grace and beauty. I only had a few conversations with her, but I could tell by the influence she had on her husband, Marcos, and five wonderful children that she loved and served the Lord with her whole being. “Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.” Prov. 31:28-30.

My sincere condolence to Audrey’s family.
I was privileged to speak to Audrey in June of this year. We had a long and meaningful conversation. We spoke of our youthful days as members of the Ocho Rios Baptist Chorale. It was my pleasure to stand in the alto line with Audrey and the other wonderful alto singers, it made me sound like I could sing.
I admired Audrey during those good old days, she carried herself in a dignified classy manner. She was very soft spoken and approachable.
I know she will be singing with the angels.
Rest in peace my friend
You are gone before, but we will meet again
In that great getting up morning.

Audette Francis – Isaacs

I still remember that Yhirsday when, accompanied by a friend, we travelled to Ocho Rios by bus, and visited Aidrey at her home. Everything was done spontaneously, the trip, visiting Audrey, and touring Carinosa Gardens with he.

What my friend and I did not realize was that this was all God orchestrated, as the visit unbeknownst to us, encouraged Audrey to return to JTS for her final year, where she and Marcos got married upon completion of studies.

Audrey was a dedicated servant of Christ, devvoted wife and mother, and a true friend. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that she has entered her rest with Jesus.

I got the message last week, but I couldn’t comprehend until now. I knew Audrey from Ocho Rios Primary and Secondary School classes. We used to sing on the Baptist youth Choir as well. What a wonderful set of Christian ✝️ people to grow up with. I’m in shock of her passing. Recently we have been corresponding and reminiscing on the good old days. She would come up with some names of our class mates over the years that I had forgotten about what fun we had talking. As Christians we know we can celebrate her life and know that she is in a better with the Lord.

To Marcos and the children and the rest of the family and friends it is at this time that we say ‘Lord we do not thy purpose see but all is well when done by thee.’ There are no words to express our feelings at this time. God gave us the privilege of sharing our lives with Audrey and Audrey sharing her life with us. We grew up together and though we were from different families,we lived and loved each other as sisters and brother. We laughed, we cried, we ate, we sang, we prayed, we worked, we worshipped together and so much more. But now he has called her to himself and we await our reunion with her . We praise God for her life and witness knowing full well that not eve death can separate her from his love. My continued prayers be with you all.

May the Grace,Peace and Strength of the Lord enfold you as you mourn the loss of your beloved wife and mother.
Psalms 121

Dear Marcus and Family,

My sincere condolences for your loss. May our Lord comfort you during this time of grief.

I’m always reminded of Rev 21:4, God’s promise that He will wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

This comforting verse is a great reassurance that there will be a time when we will not face death and that we will have eternal joy of being in the presence of our Lord with our loved ones who passed on before us.

Annette Henry
My condolences to you and the family my cousin may her peaceful soul rest in peace.

Dear Uncle Marcus,
Sending my dearest condolences to you and the family. May you find peace, comfort in all the beautiful memories shared with her. We are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time

Marcos and family, the news came as quite a shock! I still remember singing at the wedding as if it were yesterday. Praying you through your grief, knowing that we are not grieving as those who have no hope. May the memories remain with you and give you strength to face tomorrow.

Love & Blessings

I remember Audrey as a big sister, a prayer partner and a friend. The news of Audrey’s passing has brought much sadness but I know she is in a better place. To Marcus and the rest of the family, you are in our prayers. His strength is made perfect in weakness.

To the Couchman family, the lament I feel is deep. I loved Mrs. Couchman she was an incredible human being, so sweet and I felt her love even though I might have not been worthy of it. Growing up knowing her as the mother of my best friend. The many times she would show hospitality, encouragement, kindness, and understanding and support. I will never forget that. She helped shape not only aspects of myself but raised incredible human beings which I call my friends. I am comforted by the fact that I even knew such a person and that her legacy lives on in her husband and children.

I am so sad to hear of Audrey’s passing. In our very young age we were like sisters due to the closeness of our mothers. Although I have not seen her in years the news is very painful.

May God give the family strength at this time and may you be comforted in the Lord and the wonderful memories you shared.

I extend my deepest condolences to the family, who very evidently are close-knitted and rich in love. In spite of the sorrow in this moment, I wish that the memories of Ms. Couchman and the family’s faith in GOD, will minister the comfort you need in this time. May Ms. Audrey rest in peace in Abraham’s bossom.

To Bro. Marcus, the children and the extended family, I extend condolences on the passing of Sis. Audrey.
We grew up together in the Ocho Rios Baptist Church, as toddlers into adulthood, participating in the Church’s varied activities for children, youth, young adults and adults. We were both members of the Ocho Rios Baptist Church Chorale.
I had the distinct pleasure of serving as a bridesmaid at her wedding.
I will indeed miss her.
May God give you all the grace, peace and strength you need to cope with this loss.
May Sis. Audrey’s soul rest in eternal peace.

Dr. Couchman,
I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family today, and they will continue to be with you all in the days ahead.

It is with such a heavy heart that I say goodbye to my dear friend. Knowing Audrey for so many years was truly a gift, and her life touched mine and many others in ways that will not be forgotten.

Audrey loved the Lord deeply, and that love was evident in the way she served Him and loved those around her. Audrey were not only my friend, but was always a part of my ministry and a part of the work God called me to do. Her presence, faith, and heart for God will forever be woven into my ministry and heart.

Though this loss is painful and her absence will be felt deeply, I find comfort in knowing that she loved the Lord and that her life reflected Him. Thank you, Audrey, for the years of friendship, the memories, the laughter, and every moment we shared.

To Mr. Marcus I am praying that God will guide and strengthen you and the family during this incredibly difficult time. May He give each of you comfort, peace, and strength in the days ahead, and may His presence surround your family as you navigate this loss.

To my good friend, Marcus I am praying for your family. Audrey your wife and Mother was a beautiful person. You and your family have truly been blessed with one of God‘s greatest creation. Audrey was a kind person with a beautiful spirit. We met you all years ago in Dallas Texas at Macedonia Baptist church under the late Pastor LJ Taylor. so I sent to you, I sympathy from the Mark and KarenWalker Family. we are praying for your entire family. May God continue to bless and watch over you.

My deepest condolences to you and your family Marcos. I pray peace and comfort for you, your children and all of Audrey’s loved ones. Audrey was a true example of dedication to faith and family. 🙏🏽

I extend my deepest thoughts and prayers to your family during this difficult time. I pray that God gives you guys all the strength and comfort needed to get through this tough situation. My deepest condolences

My deepest condolences to the family. It took me a minute to gather my words because it was hard to accept the fact that she is gone. But one day, my perspective had shifted out of nowhere. I shouldn’t cry because she is gone. But rather cry because of the mark she has left behind. Everytime I go visit her, she always welcomed me with open arms and her spirit and energy was like no other. She was truely one of a kind and people like her are very rare nowadays. She was always thinking of me. I knew that because everytime I hang out with Johanna, she tells me that she says “hi” and always thinking of me. She will truely be missed and I will never forget her. I can’t wait til I see her again in heaven. 😊

Miss you so much my beautiful cuz. You are certainly gone but not forgiven. May you continue to rest in peace. May the legacy you left behind strengthen and encourage your beautiful family. Lovely going home service. Marcus may God continue to grant you his grace and comfort for the days ahead. Cuz Judy
