Hey buddy. It's almost been 2 years since you've been gone.
:,( your my best friend. And I miss you.
I think about you everyday and every time somebody says superman cause your my superman.
Your my super hero.
I wish you could come back.
Sometimes I feel like I can tell your close to me because I randomly break a smile in class or in the middle of something serious.
I still draw your name on my wrist like you told me to.
It hasn't left my wrist since the last time I saw you. That was at skate city.
That was a crazy night.
I love you superman.
Your forever gone. But never ever ever ever ever forgotten.
RIP SUPERMAN

Sharon,
I am so sorry to hear the tragic news about Austin. My heart goes out to you for your precious loss. I too, know the unbearable pain of losing a son. Losing a child leaves a deep and lasting wound. Suddenly, your whole life has changed, and yet, will never be the same! But, remembering all the wonderful moments you shared together can help to comfort you always. And most of all, May the God of Love, sustain you with His promise of Hope. When He will end all suffering. Hope will not take away your pain, but it will enable you to endure it.

I understand your pain and grief, your tears and sorrow are so great. My son is Frankilin Ybanez and he was taken from me July 12th 2011. I can hardly breath sometimes. I hug his shirt and cry hoping he can hear me telling him how much I love and miss him.
I have been told that the pain and sadness does not get better but we learn somehow to cope. You all in my thoughts, my heart and my prayers..God Bless you and your family

An Old Irish Blessing

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

I hope someday soon the healing will begin. I wish for everyones' tears from grieving this young man’s unnecessary death subsides so that smiles and laughter can begin as everyone can celebrate his life and the wonderful memories that will always exist. A terrible, unnecessary loss that effects even people like myself who have never met Mr. Austin Wayne Howse.

My sons Kyle and Brandon played on Austin's baseball team a couple of years ago. Austin was the pitcher, Kyle was the catcher and Austin's dad was our coach. We had a fun year and learned a lot. Kyle liked the way Austin pitched and they developed the typical pitcher/catcher relationship. Austin and Coach Howse even gave Kyle's brother(John) an honorary team tee shirt. It was a joy to have known Austin and to have Mr Howse as our coach. We were blessed to be a small part of his life. We are so sorry for your loss.

I went to Doherty with Austin and i remember the first day i met him he had the biggest smile and came up to me and asked what my name was and if I was okay because he thought i looked like i had been crying. He was the greatest friend in the world he was like a brother to me and i will forever miss him. R.I.P Austin.

Howse family i am so sorry for what you have been through and we will keep you in our prayer forever we love you guys and hope you are doing well.
