Cindy, Keith, & Isaac,
We were so upset to find out that they had to move our Regional baseball game to the same time as the visitation today. We really wanted to be there to hug you and give you our love. Just know that you have continually been in our hearts, thoughts & prayers and will continue to be even more today. Praying continually for the Lord to hold you up in his loving arms & give you peace and comfort! Austin was such a sweet, loving, & funny kid and will be greatly missed. I know Ty has lots of fun memories of going on birthday party trips with him that he will always treasure. Austin’s sweet spirit & love will continue on! Love y’all!

What a handsome young man. I have heard great things about Austin from a very caring friend of his, TJ through a dear friend of mine, Brandi. I grieve with you for his short time on earth with family. I pray he is at peace and that you have comfort in knowing that he was and is loved by many and has even affected others throughout the world. I would have loved to have known him and listened to his jokes i heard that he loved to tell.
Sincerely,
