It is with sadness that I learned of the passing of my neighbor, Stephanie Austin. Although I was not privileged to know her well, I was honored to know she and her family as residents here for many years. I send my sincere sympathy to her family. May God comfort and strengthen you as you mourn her loss.
Dear Austin Family
I am so sorry for your loss. Stephanie was such a kind and loving person. I cannot think of a time when I entered Randol Mill Pharmacy that I did not hear her sweet voice. She always asked about my family and their well-being. I will miss seeing her sweet smile when I walk in the pharmacy as well as hearing her kind voice. May God be with your family in your time of need. Heaven is a better place with an angel like Stephanie. We will miss her dearly.

Coach Austin, I’m sorry for your loss. Please know I am praying for you and your family.
Our memories go back to the days when Stephanie’s brother, Jimmy Folta was our daughter Lynn’s softball coach. She was always there encouraging him and the team. We later went on to see Allen as football coach for our sons, David, Bill and Mark and grandsons, David, Matt and Luke. Stephanie was always in the stands and had a hug for us after the game. What a precious remembrance. Our love goes out to the family. We will miss her. Dave and Judy Joeckel

Alan and Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time. Although miles have always been an obstacle, our family has always felt a closeness with our Texas family. I have only the fondest memories of Stephie and the many summers I spent at Aunt Mary and Uncle Jack’s house on Kelly St. Jimmy would lug me with him to the pool and Stephie would take me shopping. Her contagious personality and laugh will not be forgotten. When I entered the web-site and saw her photo it brought a smile to my face and tears to my eyes, I could almost hear that southern accent saying my name (Nita as she referred to me). I wish Terri and I could have made the trip for her services. Please know we love you all and will be thinking of you often.

Stephanie was one of the most marvelous people I have ever met. As a co-worker of my daughter (Areshanae) she befriended our entire family shorly after we moved to Arlington from California. I didn’t know there were still such open and warm hearted people. She will be greatly missed. My prayers are with you all.
Dear Alan,

I’m so sorry Alan, sending you love and prayers to you, Mike and your family…
