I'm really sorry about Austin. He was a great friend of mine, a helper when I was a freshman, and really funny. When I was a freshman, he was really guiding and kind. Austin, you're an amazing friend, and I'll never forget you. I'm really sorry about what happened to him, and may God bless you and your family.

Dear Watts Family,
We were so saddened to hear of Austin's passing. It's so hard to find the right words to say. Perhaps there are no right words...
Jenn and Chris, you are such amazing people. You have shown so much strength and courage in the past. We hope that you can find some peace in knowing that you have helped so many people.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Joey, Will, Tom, and Mary Furlong

Austin is now a very special guardian angel watching over all those who loved and cared for him and reminding us all to laugh cause he was so good at making everyone who met him laugh.

Remember

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you planned:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
