I have just finished reading your touching remembrance of Bill (Austin) in Trends. It was lovely. He was everything that you described. His death has been quite a blow, and frankly, I don't really think the full impact has hit me yet. As you know, the show is now called "Beth and Friends," but I feel that Bill will always be watching over me as I sit in the radio studio and continue on. I miss him very much. Again, Bill, thank you so much for honoring his memory.

Dear Bill,
A quick note to let you know how much I appreciate your "Remembering Bill Austin" piece in Trends. You reflected the feeling of so many people about this remarkable man. I also wanted to let you know that a portion of Bill's estate will be contributed to a ministry/charity that will establish a Web site that will offer non-denominational spiritual encouragement in many forms. We expect to have this site up before the end of the year. There will be a section on the site about Bill with photos, thoughts from Beth McDonald and others. We think the finished product will be a great tool for spiritual and personal encouragement and something that Bill would truly approve.

Dear Bill,
Thank you for the lovely photos and gift of wonderful memories! It is so thoughtful of you and Trends to send them vs. tossing them out the window. We love them.

Bill,
Trends is a magazine about people, and now your ads reflect that and tell a story. I love your new format. Thanks for putting Molly in, too. I thought the new Trends was your best ever. Really to the point, every page power-packed. Congratulations and huge thanks for being so sweet to our Molly and Luke. Love to you and Beth.

Dear Beth and Bill,
We did receive our copy of Trends and we thank you so very much for the wonderful article about our St. Francis Capital Campaign. We have received interest from some friends and others who have offered encouragement and I hope some donations. Friends are the best, and we thank you and will keep you posted on how things are going. You are on our good word list. Thanks again for your help.

We were eagerly reading our recent issue of Trends and voila, there we were in one of Scottsdale's most prestigious magazines. Your publication is well read, and so many people have called or come up to us and said they saw us in the Charity Spotlight column. This is such a testament to the fine publication you present and to the many devoted readers of Trends.

Thank you so very much for all that you have done and do for Defenders of Children. Your willingness to use your resources to support charities large or small with the same personal interest and public exposure is overwhelming. This is one very special reason why the community loves you as they do.

Thank you so much for the Charity Spotlight featuring Hospice of the Valley’s AAHA! It came out very nicely – perfect fit for the space. We know real estate is precious and appreciate your promotion of our fundraising event. Best wishes.
