My heart is filled with sorrow. Andy was a good friend to me. My protector. He cared so much about all of his friends and family. Every memory I have of Andy brings a smile to my face and I am having a hard time believing that that is all I have left-memories! My prayers are with the Collins family. I love you Andy!!

I had a lot of fun times with Andy back in high school. Easy to get along with, he always fit in comfortably. His sudden death is difficult for his family and friends to understand, but as time passes it will become more bearable. Everything will be all right in the end.
God Bless,
