Quinntin and Mrs Augustine,
I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss. I wish I could have gone to the memorial. I will always remember Mr. Augustine for all his time at swim meets cheering Quinntin on. Although I did not spend much time speaking with him, he seemed like a very good man, husband and father. All my love and best wishes.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dear Ellen and Quintin,
Kazuyo and I wish to express our deepest sympathy. When I first met John at Paragon in 2001, it was obvious that he was a very friendly and generous person. His capability of listening to others was an asset and therefore he was very successful at achieving consensus and solving everyday conflicts.
Both of you, John and Ellen, were great friends and largely helped us feel at home in Houston. We feel so sorry that John passed away suddenly: he now lives in your hearts and the heart of his friends. Thank you for keeping his memory alive. John deserves it and you are rightly proud of him.

My dear friend, till this moment I feel I still can't believe what happened to you! Even though I did not have that much contact with John, I know he was such a sweet person! His smile will be remembered. I can feel how much you love him from what I see and hear.

For John's Family:
I am shocked and very sad at this news. I am so sorry for your (and our) loss. I worked for John on a few projects in the 90's. He was a class individual, generous and kind. May the Lord grant you His peace that passes all understanding, and bring you comfort at this time and in the coming months.
