In Loving Memory of our nephew and cousin,
We decided to create this web page in honor of Austin's memory. We would like to invite his friends and other family members to share any thoughts or stories about Austin, as we would all enjoy hearing about his life. Austin was special in a lot of ways, and it is still so very hard to accept his passing. Even though our hearts are broken for our loss, I can still manage to smile and even laugh sometimes when I think of Austin and all of his escapades through the years! He was always full of mischief, but he was so darn cute, it was hard to be angry at him. Austin experienced struggles, and his life was not always easy, but his sense of humor and resilient nature serve as an inspiration to me. The last time I saw Austin was Christmas of '97 when his family traveled all the way from Ohio to Colorado on the train to spend a week out here. He and Johnny spent a lot of time together, and we are thankful for that. The last memory I have is of him hugging me and saying, "goodbye Aunt Sally, I love you". Good Bye, Austin, I love you too!
