That beyond the hurting there may be forgiveness. That beyond the silence there may be the word. That beyond the word there may be understanding. That through understanding there is love." - unknown author A memorial service will be held at 2:00 pm on Saturday, June 8, 2013 in the Weed-Corley-Fish Chapel, 3125 N Lamar Blvd, Austin, TX 78705.

Lighting this candle in memory of you -
One of my favorite memories of you is watching you and Solomon heading out on your bicycles. My children's "step' Dad never did things like that with them so it really warmed my heart to see. I hope you can feel the hugs we're sending. Be at Peace Jasper.
