Such sadness. I just found out about Autumn's passing today. I can't believe it. I've known her for 12 years now from acac. She was always an encourager and I cherish her love of God and how her faith was center in her life. Her bright smile and kindness will not be forgotten.

I was Autumn's pledge sister at Delta Zeta/DePauw University, and her parents and mine are friends in Waukesha. I was so sorry to hear of her passing, she was such a gentle and kind and gracious person. Prayers for all of you and God's peace.

So very very sorry to hear about Autumn 's passing. Although we left Charlottesville over twenty years ago I still have fond memories of her and her beautiful faith. We attended Bible study together at Incarnation and also participated in other ministries. She was taken too young. She was so special that I guess God wanted her for Himself. Sending love and strength to the family from California.

My sister, Autumn, had a special way of drawing people to her. She was smart and funny and made people feel so good to be in her presence. Autumn was deeply connected to God and generously shared her faith and wisdom. She was an anchor in my life that I never imagined I would be without. I will miss her forever and thank God everyday that He blessed my life with her.

We just heard the news of Autumn's passing from my dad Dick Schnute last night. We remember her cheerful nature and how sweet she was, especially to my mother. My mom always spoke so highly of her and with such love. We know she will be greatly missed. Karen Schnute and husband Dennis Klembara
