I love and miss you so much Austin. I could not believe this when I heard it and then I saw your brothers Facebook and cried like a baby. I will never forget the times we spent together. you will always hold a special place in my heart…the memory that I remember the most is the night that you and Anthony (blue) talked me and Ashley into sneaking out of the house and stealing my mom’s car to drive over to where y’all were all just bc y’all wanted us to ride with y’all and blues mom to England and chill with y’all outside while his mom went in someone’s house to clean. it was a crazy night but sure was a fun one. lol we got eaten up by mosquitos though. and it was so hot out there, but we definitely had fun! I LOVE YOU AUSTIN SAMPLES…your life was way too short, but you lived a good life. Fly High…&& Watch Over The Rest Of Us That Are Still Down Here On Earth!!! We all love and miss you dearly!!!
