Dear Lee and family,
I talked to Jayne Austin this evening and she told me about the loss of your son. I am so very sorry. It is so hard to lose one of our children or grandchildren.
I am Jayne’s aunt, Audrey (Beach) Carlson. Janice Coyle was my sister. I’ve only met you a couple of times. My Mom and Dad, Bill and Evon Beach passed away many years ago, but I still remember them speaking so highly of you. My Mom especially loved you so very much. Lee, I don’t know if you were ever told that. It’s important that you know how much they both cared about you.
I don’t know if my Mom and Dad ever had a chance to meet your sons. My Mom loved children so much.
I just want you to know that you have a large extended family who are sharing in your sorrow right now.
I find comfort in Luke 27:37, 38 that says, “He is a God, not of the dead, but of the living, for they are all living to him” Some day we will see all of our loved ones again. We will have the chance to live forever right here on earth.
I know I can speak for all my sisters, we are so very sorry about your loss. You and your family will be in our prayers.
Love,
Audrey (Beach) Carlson

R.I.P Bill. No more troubles, no more cares. You are now with Grandma and Grandpa again. You really meant it when you hugged me and said you wouldn’t see me again, didn’t you. I’ll watch for you riding that crotch rocket in the sky. Gone too soon.
