"To Ed, Renee, Eric and Eddie - I My heart has ached for all of you since I heard the news of your beloved wife and mother?s passing. I pray for the Lord to bring His Peace to you sorrowful hearts during your time of loss. I will forever remember the warm, kind and loving person we shared so many holidays with during Robby, Rylee, and Luke?s childhood years, especially all the New Year?s Eve celebrations we had to welcome in the year ahead! She was always so thoughtful and sweet to all of us?the memories will be forever cherished in my heart, as well as Luke?s, where her Spirit will be remembered dearly!!! I am truly sorry I was unable to attend her service on Saturday, please know that my absence was not a reflection of the importance your wife and Mom played in my life for many years. She was always kind-hearted, loving and a reflection of God?s Love here on Earth and now - she has gained her wings, is there in heaven with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and most importantly, she suffers no more. With love and prayers - Paul, Amy, and Luke Austermehle "
