Michael Lynn Austin

Okay...so it is Jan. 5th and it still seems so surreal! Linda, you are with me everyday in my thoughts and prayers, as is Matt and Sarah. I will miss Mike's hair:-), his hugs!, and his sense of humor. I regret times passed that I didn't get to visit more...but appreciate the impact of our friendship! Love and Hugs to you!

Dear Linda and family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. I remember the good times I was able to spend with you and Mike and my sister's family on my trips to Erie.

Warmest regards,
Karen Sandell

Dear sweet family,
We send love and hugs to all. We miss Mike and cherish our memories together.. friends and familytime ...so much fun.
Linda, call anytime, for there is a listening ear and heart here for you.

Linda, Sarah and Matt, Aaron and I have the fondest memories of growing up with Mike at LORD and the great times we had as a group. We've never had such great chemistry both at work and at play. The bonds we created with you and Mike, Barry and Jan, Steve and Karen, Craig and Sue, Karen, Jim and all the rest will stay strong in our hearts forever. We will always think of Mike with a smile and a quick remark that would always make us laugh. He brightened our lives and as the card said,...

The Mike Austin Memorial Scholarship will benefit local students wishing to study internationally. The Austins hosted several wonderful exchange students, Matt & Sarah studied abroad, and Mike and Linda loved how traveling made the world a much smaller place.

Study abroad programs still leave some expenses to the students, and in Mike's memory we aim to help overcome the financial hurdles for those with ambitions to learn another language and culture firsthand.

Linda, Sarah, & Matt ~
My deepest sympathy. I have fond memories of Mike at work at FGI & at play with the volleyball gang & beyond. I will miss him & his quick wit. My thoughts are with you. ~Jules

Mike and Linda were my extended parents through grade school and all the way through high school before I moved to Florida. I always respected and cared for them as they were my own blood. Knowing Mike, has made me a better person.
R,I,P You will never be forgotten.
