Dear Little Boo (Austin) and our closest friends,
Austin was such a light in our lives. Everyday that we knew him was a better day added to our lives.
He was such a joy to hold and play with. His personality shinned like the sun on its brightest day. Everyone who new Austin (at least we can say this) became a better person because of him. We would have loved to have spent more time with him. It is so sad that his happy little life was cut short by some one with no heart. That person knows how they are. Austin we love you very much and your memory will remaine in our lives and hearts until the end of time. We love you Austin.
