Before Laurie, Gregg and family moved to NM when Austin was 5, we had many good times living next door to them. Summers were the best when all of the families with young kids would gather in Laurie and Gregg's yard, bringing lawn chairs, to watch the kids ride up and down the street on their "bug bikes", trykes and foot-powered cars. We just read some of the comments by Austin's current friends and realize that even as a young boy he showed the same qualities of kindness, gentleness, inquisitiveness and genuine joy in his every day life. We are blessed to have known Austin and his family.

Steve and Mary Jane, I've been reliving those preschool days. What a fun, less complicated time that was. I remember being invited to a gathering in the Hudson-LaPore's backyard. Sitting in lawn chairs while kids played near-by. I close my eyes and I am there again, while laughter and good natured kidding rolls over us in the dark of a lovely summer Chicago night. I want to try and go to the Memorial service that will be here in the Fall. Perhaps we can connect and go together. Leave a Reply. |
