First I just want to THANK YOU for raising such an incredible human. He brought SO MUCH light to my life it's hard to even put into words. Austin was one of the most genuine human beings I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I am thankful that God put him into my life because I know it was intentional. God's plan is much bigger than we could ever imagine and the light that Austin brought to the world will never dim. Austin made life so much more fun. He loved everyone and only focused on the good in people. I can say with certainty that I never heard him speak a bad word about another person which I know is a reflection of YOU. Kristin, you are such a sweet person and know that your brother loved you. He always looked out for you and we had many conversations about you. Mom & Dad, you guys rock. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING HIM INTO THIS WORLD. Faith & Love will guide you. If I could see Austin one more time all I would do is hug him. Austin, I love you and want you to know that the person that you are to everyone will live on forever. That smile and laugh that you carry will echo in all of our hearts. Watch over us. Don't let them doubt in God and keep their spirits high. Visit me often. And i'll see you again. <3 Much love, Court
