I'm not sure how life will ever be the same without you Austin. You were such a huge part of our lives, you enjoyed everything we did, from just hanging out at the house, to camping, to vacations...you were there for it all.Your shirt is still by the door and your shoes are still in Dez's room waiting for you to come back and get them. I know you are in Heaven with Jesus soaring high among the clouds with the rest of your family, who I'm sure was waiting there with open arms. but here on Earth we are missing you badly. Behave up there (who are we kidding)LOL Have some fun and be waiting for me when I get there. Love you Austin Tyler
