Austin Kyle Hilliard

Austin, my darling GREAT grandson, today is March 18, 2011 and for some reason I decided to read all the post in your Guestbook.
It just reinforced that so many saw in you what your MawMa Lyn
knew. I am crying my eyes out for you as I write. I miss you so much and it is still hard for me to go to your home as there is such a REAL void there. I just ache for your mom and dad, and of course,
Kylie and Tanner. We miss you so much and I guess our hearts will be heavy until we see you again.
I am forever reliving our last wonderful visit when you knocked on the door and surprised me just two days before you left us. I have yours and Uncle Mack's picture made the last few minutes at the Curtis reunion. He was standing over you in utter awe at your skill in playing the guitar. He was one of the best and so proud of you.
Little did we know he would be gone to heaven so suddenly in four months. Guess he wanted you there to play music with him.
I loved you from the day you were born and enjoyed how darn smart, cute, clever you were. Bet I will be the next one to see you.
Watch over us all.

Thinking of you during this time of great loss for you family. Our son, Troy, passed from this life at the age of 18 in December, 1991. Just reading about Austin touched my heart. He was truly a remarkable person and one who had a tremendous influence on everyone who knew him. Please remember that you are never alone. God loves you and understands your pain. Many friends and family members will continue to pray for you. I know that you feel God's Presence and this will give you the strength that you need. In all things, we are more than conquerors through Jesus, My Love and God's blessings, Lynda Stockton

I am thinking of your family in my prayers. God bless you in this time of sorrow.

I met Austin only once, but that's all it took for him to make a mark on my heart. I am a Nursing Instructor for a local community college. One of my students was blessed to have had Austin as his first pediatric patient at Texas Childrens Hospital. Austin was a wealth of knowledge. I was touched by his aspirations of one day contributing to the future of medicine....especially in Cardiology. Today, we were overwhelmed with sadness learning of Austin's passing. But were also overcome by joy as we reflected on the conversation with him and his father on the day he was discharged from the hospital. May the Lord's word continue to be a source of support to you and your family during this difficult time.

Austin, you will always be remembered and your life celebrated. We will honor you at every reunion and remember you sitting side by side with Uncle Mack playing your guitar. I know you are pickin and grinnin with him again now. We will all join ya'll for the Greatest Reunion ever one day. Until that day, we love and miss you. Joey and Shanoah-We love you and pray for you every day.

Shanoah, Joey , Tanner, Kylie , Tonya ,Woodie & Lyn - My thoughts are with you; my heart is heavy and my Prayers are ongoing for all of you. We know where he is.- HE'S EARNED HIS WINGS.- May he use them to watch over you and may God Bless each of you. We love you all.

Shanoah,
Noone in this world deserves to go through the pain of losing a child, but especially you. You are such a beautiful person in EVERY aspect of the word. I did not know Austin but reading this and seeing videos shows me that he was just as incredible as his mother. It is no wonder that God would want him back. I pray God gives you the strength to continue to live out his mission in life and touch peoples lives in the way you always do. He deserves no less than that. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family. Never lose that perfect smile! Much love, Lindsey

So sorry to hear about your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time.

Enrique is at the BSA Jambaree, he wanted us to let you know he is thinking of you and he has been praying for you all.

We are praying for you all, The Villarreal Family

Austin has touched many of people including myself. I had several classes with him at Marshall and frequently saw him in the hall at West Brook. On the Sunday before his passing I saw him working at Market Basket and he looked so happy. As soon as I got my drivers license I signed up to be an organ donor because I realized how important organ donors are. Also I am going to participate in the heart walk in October. I have participated in it in years past but this year will be special as I think of Austin and his fight as I walk.
