She is grandmother to 6 grandsons and 1 granddaughter. Robert regrettably lost his battle on this earth and went home to Heaven on April 22, 2006….due to complications related to his many disabilities. He was 14 years old and is deeply missed. Autumn has been happily married to her best friend and greatest supporter, Scott, for over 20 years and reside in Weatherford, Texas. Robert was their only child together. The Ater's own a local family business and both do charity work within the community.

Autumn’s Web site is www.aholeinmyheart.com, where you will find comfort and inspiration in this unique and special loss group. She can also be reached through the site at autumn@aholeinmyheart.com. A thought from Autumn: I very often tell people that I felt like Joseph from the book of Genesis in the bible, in a deep pit with my grief and that God had rescued me from that pit of grief to one of joy in serving others… letting your grief identify who you are is not what God intends for us. There is hope and healing in our Lord Jesus Christ. Just trust in Him.
