So sorry to hear about your loss. I had the pleasure of working with Drew when he was at The Print House. He did a wonderful job supporting my small business, The Little Gym. I always enjoyed his professionalism, attention to detail, friendliness, and "can do" attitude.

Dear Janet,
Drew was always very helpful to me when we had work done by the Print House. (I work for the Christian Science Church in Boston) My prayers and much love are with you and your family. Having lost my husband a few years ago, I appreciate what you are going through. It has been comforting to me to know that our loved ones and we are continually cared for by our loving Father Mother God. I pray that you and yours and Drew, too, will feel God's presence and see how He is filling your hearts with precious memories and comfort. With much love to you all, Jane Winner

I worked on many projects with Drew and he was one of those people you feel blessed to have "met". I will miss him. My thoughts and prayers to you.

Dear Drew's family and friends,
I came to know Drew about 3 years ago when I was hired by Provider Resources to create a creative nutrition curriculum guide for their day care providers. I submitted my work and talked with and emailed with Drew every month. He was so helpful, kind and supportive. I was very saddened when I heard that he had to leave work at the Printhouse to focus on his health. Although I never actually met Drew "in person", he was wonderful to work with. I send all of Drew's family and friends my deepest support during this challenging part of life's journey.
With sincere compassion,
Jackie Newman
