Helen and family,
So sorry to hear about your Dad. My dad went to be with the Lord 13 years ago, it's hard saying goodbye. Just trust in God to get you through this. My prayers are with you.

Dear Robert,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time of your father's passing. With the love of the outdoors that he's had, think of him and smile with every frozen stream and snowy mountain, every trout jumping out of the water, when the leaves are changing, and on warm summer evenings. Know that he left here to move onto a better place. A place of peace.

So very sorry for your loss, but what a day of rejoicing Mr. Austin is having in heaven! He was such a joy to be around - I enjoyed singing in the choir with him, we had such a good time in these last few years! I will miss his smile, his hearty hand shake and his open attitude. He will be missed but what a blessing to know that he is with God!
