Andrew, I still think of you often and always will.. You may be gone but never forgotten, your memories that we all were so lucky to have with you will live on forever! I miss you so much! Everything around me reminds me of you, weather it's a song, pictures, friends, fishing trips/fishing spots, family, our little Pup Miss Annabell Jasmind, Brooklyn the cat that we snuck home for my mom, car rides, and so much more.. I'm so happy I got to be apart of your life, best years of mine! <3 Chunk a Munck and I have a play list for you that we listen to every time we are together, "let's listen to Uncle Andrews songs!" She will always say. she's always talking and thinking about you and we won't let her forget the amazing uncle that you were. Deeda and I are going to go see Luke Bryan next month in your honor, as we do others things to keep your spirit alive. I hope your up there doing all the things that you love and enjoy doing. We all love and miss you dearly and hope your watching over us all. <3 "I LovLike You" our guardian angel... <3 May You R*I*P Andrew William. <3
