I don't know if I ever publicly thanked CB and BYU for all of the love, support and kindness that was shown to me and my family. I will be forever grateful, though I didn't individually respond to your board mail, I read them all and appreciated them so much.

I just wrote a letter to Austen on his Facebook page if any of you are interested in reading it: https://www.facebook.com/Inlovingmemoryofausten/posts/1384665504951593?notif_t=feedback_reaction_generic&notif_id=1496219702021538

I still love CB and check it out daily, even though I don't post much anymore.

I can't wait for BYU football this year, but the games just aren't the same without having my little guy to watch the games with me. My older boys are in and out of the room during the games, whereas Austen would make me pause the game when he would go to the bathroom, but would unpause the game when I would go to the bathroom and then tell me what happened when I came back.

We tried to get our boys signed up for BYU basketball camp this year, but it was full. We made it up for the Utah State Football game last year and had a great time. We will be at the UNLV game this year for sure, and hopefully make it up for one in Provo. Our family is doing well, choosing to look up and draw closer to our Heavenly Father through our trial.

Thank you CB,

Troy Russell
