This hurts. At FDR we called him Grim. The new bowl has "Mingo" carved in the crete, right where it waterfalls into the deep end, and the drain cover says "Grim."

Gnarly skater, FDR to the bone, but most importantly, such a good person. By losing you Grim, we took a huge loss. I still can't believe you're gone.

I don't know how death and all that works. Maybe you'll see this. I don't know. I hope you do. I hope you're okay wherever you are. I miss you.

I didn't know Andrew nor do I know your family but my heart aches for all of you. Losing a child, brother, grandson, nephew etc. is never easy and this time of year makes it especially difficult. May God be with you and I know he has his arms around Andrew.

To the family of Andrew J. Mingo, Betty, Tom, Nicholas & Michael, my most sincere condolences. Taken too early in life. A Father from Cohoes.

SAFELY HOME

I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh, but Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.
And He came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still,
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remains,
You shall rest in Jesus' land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!
