Graham Austin (28 Jan 1961 - 5 Oct 2014)

Graham was such a nice man. In 30 years of knowing him I never heard anyone say a bad thing about him. He had such a lovely sense of humour and will be missed by all who knew him.

I remember turning up at Stenson Fields one Sunday rather out of the blue (taking a week off from St Peters!) and Graham was on the door. I wondered if he would recognise me as it had been a while since I had seen him, but his grin from ear to ear told me that he did and his open arms welcomed me as if he'd been waiting at the door especially for me! Such a good Christian brother.

Dear Sue, Amy, Lucy and the family - my heart goes out to you all at the loss of Graham. May the Lord comfort you and keep you close by at this sad time and I pray that you will be at peace knowing that Graham is now with the Lord.

Dear Sue, Amy and Lucy, we just want you to know how much you are in our thoughts and prayers at this time. As I was just emptying the craft room in the caravan, on the day of the move, Graham called hi to me from his room. He had just had a shower and was tired out. I said I expect you are really tired now, go and have a good rest sweetheart, see you soon. They were my last words to a dear friend. And that is my prayer "have a good rest dear Graham, see you soon."

We are so sorry for your loss, Sue, Amy and Chris, Lucy and Liam. We remember Graham as an encourager and a pleasure to be around. May the Lord bless you and comfort you with His presence, as only He knows how. Sending you much love xxx

We Praise The Lord for Graham but are saddened by his death! we know that he has been called home by The Lord Jesus and he is now at peace and pain free!
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels, nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Graham is now in the presence of our Lord and Saviour, may he rest on peace!
Praying for you all Sue, Amy, Lucy and families, that you too may know His peace and comfort at this time!

We had such lovely times with Graham when we were leaders at the Bridge youth club, Graham was the 'softie', the kids knew it and sometimes took advantage of it. I think Graham was quite a new Christian when he became a leader for the Bridge, even though he was new he served The Lord faithfully and was a real witness to the kids that used to go to the club. Both you and Graham have been such great witnesses throughout Graham's illness and it was so good of you Sue to share those last weeks with us all, may you cherish those memories until you are called home! Love to you all x

Although I have only once met you personally, I honour Graham as someone truly devoted to the Lord and His work, and to his loving family. May the Lord bless and support you all in these coming days.

A good and faithful servant has hone home. Those that knew Graham loved and admired him. He was an inspiration as indeed you and the girls are. Xxx

So litlle time we´ve been together but we rest assured Graham is in Heaven with our Lord. Your family is an example of confidence and faith, Love to Sue, Amy and Lucy.

So many lovely memories of time spent with Graham. I know you find comfort in Grahams sure and certain hope. My love to Sue, Amy & Lucy. Xxxx

A special place in heaven for a man who indeed loved our Lord and Saviour. Rest in Peace now Graham. Love God bless Jackie Law and Phil Winfieldx

So sorry for your loss Sue, Amy and Lucy.
Graham is now in glory with our heavenly Father.
Praying that you are all comforted knowing how much Graham loved
our Lord and Saviour.
May you be surrounded by Christian love at this time. xxx

Shall never forget Grahams wonderful smile. Our loss in heavens gain.
