Dear Andrea and Family,
May Our Dear Lord console you in the Loss of Austin! Hew ill always be near you to watch over you and pray for you. I am sorry I could not go to the Funeral Home and Mass, I have a bum knee! I saw my doctor today. Mean old OsteoArthritis! I will always remember Austin "feeding" me the Chalice of the Precious Blood, he never let anyone touch the Chalice. That was really reverent and sweet. Love and Prayers, Donna
