Not a single day passes without you crossing my mind. I love you even more today than I did 19 years ago and while you may be gone in body, your soul is in those of us who love you and your legacy will live on through me until I'm gone from this Earth. Please take care of your brother up there for me please. I simply can't believe I lost you at 21 years and 3 days and then 16 years later I lost my firstborn son at 20 years 10 months and 19 days. 2 weeks. That's the difference in age between the two of you. You were here 14 days longer. I have never been the same since you have been gone and the same is true after losing Thomas. I look so very forward to the day I will get to see both of your beautiful faces again and stay awhile. You will never be forgotten. You will never be unloved. I promise you that. Missing you as always Drew.

Neider Family,
I hope you are all doing well, I think of you all often & was pleasantly suprised to see "cousin Jillian" on the morning news channel I watch everyday. In some way it helps me still feel connected to Drew & your family. Just to let you know as I had promised, Drew does have his name sake, my son Andrew, who will be turning 7 later this month, is named after his "big brother" he never met. He has seen pictures & knows who Drew was & carries it as a badge of honor that he was named after your son. He reminds me so much of Drew, the big cheshire grin, the grandiose love of life and of course the love of fast cars!! I truly hope you are all doing well in your lives & Mrs. Neider, I love & miss you very much.

Drew,

You loved me like the brother you never had, and I love you for that. We had our ups and our downs, and I'll cherish them all. You were always there for me when I needed you, and you know how much that meant to me. You be good up there and tell berty that I said hi. Stay outta trouble, and watch those little white lies. Neider family, I love you guys and if you ever need me I'm here for you. I love you and will miss you with all my heart. Sweet dreams bro...

Love Always,

Drew, You were not only the love of my life but you were also my best friend. For what seems like forever, you were my entire world. Loosing you felt and still feels like I am loosing a part of myself. I will never forget you or the many wonderful times that we had together. When I think of you I will always cherish the promises that we made to eachother and the time I got to spend with you. I am so glad that I had the opportunity to know and love you. You will always be in my mind and will forever have my heart.

Drew, I will always love you.

Dear Kathy and Barry,

Words are not enough to express my feeling for you both. I hope you can find peace in knowing that Drew's spirit will live forever in the hearts of friends and family that knew him for the terrific young man he was.

I met Drew while working with him at Audio Paging & continued my friendship with him after he left. I have fond memories of him. I will miss that big smile that he always seemed to have on his face. When Drew came around you were instantly happy, he had that effect on people. You will be greatly missed, buddy.

My deepest condolences for your loss. I worked with Drew at the Pepper Mill. Though I've only known him a short while, I came to know him as very friendly and helpful. He was a wiz with cars too. I'll miss his input, as well as his big, great grin.

I am deeply sorry for your loss of your only son. I went to St. Luke's Gradeschool with Drew, and kept in touch with him through Graeme and Steve. He was a great kid, with a big heart. He will be fondly remembered by all those who knew him. We all have an angel now.
