I will miss your Mommy dearly. What a sweet lovely woman, I will always remember Mrs.Austin when I was young going to First Congregational Church and she being my teacher for many years, she always gave me big hugs and always had that beautiful smile.
I pray that God will bring comfort and strength to all the Austin family during these days ahead, praying for each of you my old neighbors Marcy, Julie, Steve, Eddie and the Duff.
Keep all those loving memories close to your heart's.

Clare and Grace Scholten loved going over to here house and sitting in her living room and listing to stories from when she was a kid and spending quality time with her. Mark Scholten is a wonderful dad and is leaving the same legacy behind as his mom did, he loved going over there once and awhile to check in on her and sit down and talk with her, I know the Scholten family is so very happy to see her in the best place, and with the one she loved most!! Miss you both
