Andrew, There is not a day that goes by that I don't miss you! Time stops for nobody. It is so hard for me to fathom that you have been gone for twelve years! It seems so long, and yet short at the same time! I miss hearing your voice and seeing your smile! Hugs, kisses & Eskimo kisses. Love, Mom

Andrew today is like any other day since you left us, so so very sad and wishing you were here with us. You will always be with us and forever young. We will never know what you would have become, but I'm sure you would have done great things for your mother and looked out for her and loved her with the deepest love. You would have loved your niece and nephew and looked out for your sister also. Pop pop talks about you all the time he cries allot and wishes you were here with us. only GOD knows best, and we have to except he knows what is right for all of us. And I know he does we all love and miss you so much.

Andrew, I miss you terribly! I seem to have an issue with the 2nd of each month since you passed away. I pray that you know how much losing you has impacted my life. You were an amazing person and I was so blessed to have been chosen to be your mom. I honestly wish I could be more like you. David has taught me that you are still with us, in spirit, but I miss seeing you physically. I miss being able to see your beautiful smile and handsome face. I also miss your voice and your laughter. I love you son! Hugs, kisses and Eskimo kisses always! Love, Mom

Andrew, It has been several years since i have been on here to leave you a message. As you know a lot has transpired since that time and my life is totally different. I was finally able to meet my twin flame and one and only true love, David. It is amazing how the right person enters your life and you realize just how wrong your life was before that. David entered my life and for the second time in my life, I am able to find a happiness that can only compare to God's love for us. The first time was when you and Jessica were born! The hole in my heart that has been there since you passed has finally been mended that I can navigate around it and I owe that to David. He has showed me that you are still with me every step of the way and that we can still honor you by how you lived while you were alive versus the time you have been gone. We visit the grave and do a lot of the things that you loved and we do it with a passion for life because we honor you! You are living with us in spirit and we could not be happier! I know you are happy for me because I can feel you smiling down on me and I feel the warmth of your love. Please continue to send me signs and thank you for being one of the people who have loved me unconditionally! You are my hero! I love you Andrew. Hugs, Kisses & Eskimo Kisses! Love, Mom

Andrew,
As difficult as it was, I made it through 2/2/15. I firmly believe that my faith in God and your help made the difference. I couldn't do it any other way. Bill and I went to the cemetery and put LED tea light candles all around your headstone and left them there all night. We also ate at Arby's and released a blue latex balloon to honor you. I keep your headstone and grave decorated all year long. Bill has been a tremendous help in helping me with all that we do at the cemetery. This past fall we planted eight more crepe myrtle trees & two lavender bushes, in your memory. It was a lot of work, but we will do anything to keep your memory alive. Hopefully when everything blooms in the spring, the trees and bushes will thrive. My mission in life is to keep your memory alive. I try to do something new for your birthday and for your angel date each year that passes. I know you are smiling down on me and encouraging me each step of the way. Some people come into your life and make such a huge impact that changes a person forever. You have been that person for me. God blessed me the day he gave me you to raise and to love as my own. Every parent knows that it is only temporary, but prays that it lasts for a lifetime. Unfortunately, I was not granted that privilege with you, but I do know that death is the last chapter in time, but the first chapter in eternity. I know you are waiting for me, my precious son, and I will be there to take your hand as soon as God says its time. Until then, I carry you in my heart always. Hugs, Kisses & Eskimo Kisses always! Love, Mom

Andrew, I wrote to you last night I guess I forgot to enter it. I'm not real smart on this thing. I am alot better then poppop in typing though. I don't have to look at the keys for every word. It has been 4 years today and it still feels like you should be coming with your mom to visit when she comes. I miss the running up the stairs and all those hugs and kiss's. I look at your picture and say where are you Andrew? I know where you are but I wish you could still be with us. It's so hard on your mother. she tries to be brave, but I can tell her heart is broken into. She loves and yes I say loves just because you are gone doesn't mean we love you any less. She hears from Jessica, Nevaeh, and Donte and that makes her happy. She really loves those babies as she does you and Jessica. She still needs to have her baby boy to make her laugh. I wish I had of stayed with you on your last birthday like you wonted, If only I had known I would have. I hope you know how much you mean to me and to everyone who loves you aND THAT IS A LOT OF PEOPLE. poppop is having a lot of trouble believing it and he still can't play on the xbox much and you know how much he loved doing that. Your moma wonted to set off those candle today but the weather is to bad which made her sad. We will do it as soon as we can. I could go on and on, but I better get off before poppop gets here. I love you so very much until the day I die.

Andrew: Its been 4 years since we lost you and we still can't understand why. Your Grandmom Marie used to say that God took the special people early so he would have them longer; maybe that's why he took you...you are very special. Still its hard for those left behind.....I miss your mischievous grin, your big blue eyes and of course your wonderful hugs.
I will never stop missing you or loving you. Some day I will see you and hug you again...be at peace my wonderful grandson.

Andrew, I am sorry I didn't post on here for your birthday, but I did honor you on that very special day. Bill and I ate some of your favorite foods, including ice cream cake. It is so hard to believe we celebrated your 20th birthday without you. I really hate this! I miss you so much! No mother should ever have to lose a child. I cannot begin to explain how I live with this huge hole in my heart. I love you and miss you more than any words could ever express!

I can't help but wonder what you would be doing right now if you wouldn't have never left us. Its hard not to get emotional every day I mean you're on my arm, in my heart and with my son...I keep asking why? Why you? You were so young when you left us, and here I am almost 4 years later still wondering why god picked you, why he took such a young handsome man like you away from SO many people who loved you dearly. And then I get mad at myself for not spending more time with you growing up.I wish I could go back in time to just hug you one more time and never let go and tell you how much I love you. I know I really haven't been there much growing up and im so sorry. I wish I could take it all back, I would have been there more for you and jess. They say the pain of losing a lost one will get better but it hasn't I feel the same every day and every moment your on my mind I can't help but shed tears. I LOVE YOU ANDREW JUSTIN GOTT!!!! I miss you soooooooo much baby brother!!!!! You might be gone but you will NEVER be forgotten.

Andrew,
I really miss you! It is so hard to believe that it has been 3 1/2 years since you have been gone. Everything is so different now, but I know that you are aware of all the changes. I am so lost without you. Bill has been a tremendous help to me, honestly I do not know what I would do without him here helping me. I am an emotional wreck. He listens to me and even though he hates to see me upset, he realizes that I need to let my feelings out and he has been my #1 supporter. I have come to understand that there are some people who cannot handle my emotions, so I have to be that great pretender, but pretending gets so old. I love you my precious son. Love, Mom

Andrew,
Another Mother's Day without you. Thank you for helping me get through the day. Your Uncle Ray sent me flowers on your behalf. He is such a wonderful person and I know that you are smiling down on him. His note from you, made me cry. The flowers are beautiful. The arrangement is called, A Dozen Hugs, A Dozen Kisses. How fitting is that? I made sure I took a picture of them. I will post it on your facebook page later today or tomorrow. I love and miss you so much. Please continue to send me signs and always remember how very much you are loved. Love, Mom

My dearest Andrew, today is Easter and you are not here to get you Jelly-Bellies. I know how much you and Jessica love them. They don't have them at the grocer any more, but I'm sure I could find them somewhere if you were here. Your mom and Bill brought pop-pop and me some soup yesterday. They were going to go to Easter service later. I'm sure it was beautiful. She miss's you so much we all do. Your time with us was no where near enough. I know you are having a ball with the rest of your family up there it must be wonderful to be in the sight of Jesus. Nothing more strong then the love he has for you for all of us. Thank God he gave his son so we could all live with him one day. I would never with you back here when you are in such a wonderful place. It's just that life here just isn't the same without you. You never really know how bad you will miss someone until they are no longer with you. I know in my heart that you knew how much you were loved by all of us. And no one more than your mother and sister. Jessica is making sure that your niece and nephew will always remember you. And so is your mother. We all love and miss you more and more everyday. Pop-pop really has a hard time with this he has trouble even looking at your pictures without crying and you know he doesn't do that much. Happy Easter and than God that his son died and rose again for all of us. I love and miss you so much.

Andrew, I still have trouble believing that you are gone. You will always love on as long and you have the rest of us here. There isn't a day that goes by or probably minutes that someone isn't thinking about you and all that you would be doing if you were here with us. I'm sure you would be in college although probably somewhere close because I know you wouldn't wont to be far from your mom. I still leson for you to come up the stairs when your mom comes to visit. And you sliding across the kitchen floor. You loved it baby hated it. She couldn't control the slide like you could she would fall also. I know you are taking care of her for me until I get there. I wish I could trade places with you so you could be here with your mom and Jessica and your uncle Ray. I love and miss you so much. Give baby a big hug for me.

My Dearest Andrew, I made it through 2/2/14 the best I could. I hope and pray you are proud of me. Every day is a struggle, but I keep reminding myself that I will see you again and it will be for eternity. I love and miss you so much. Hugs, kisses & eskimo kisses.
Love,

Andrew, It is so hard to believe that it is coming up on three years since you left. In some ways, it seems like forever since I have seen you, but yet, it seems like everything is so fresh. I hate having to go on without you. It is so different. I do not like it one bit, but I get up each and every morning like I am suppose to and get through one day at a time. I pray a lot. I love and miss you so much! Love, Mom
October 30, 2013
Andrew, I still can't believe that you are no longer here with us. I talk to you all of the time. You are really the only one I feel like I can talk to any more. I know all of you here but you are the one who was here to see how things were. I kept so much from my family. I wouldn't be talking to you if you I wonder what you would be doing now going to college I'm sure. I know you would be making all of us proud of you. I wish everyday there was something I could do for your moma and for Jessica. I know there isn't but I wish there was. It hurts so bad to see and hear how they are hearing I know you know and wish you could help them also. I hope baby is being good for you I guess she has her sister there also. Good thing you didn't have to many more to look after. I love and miss you so very much. I keep your picture on the coffee table so I can keep watching you. To bad it can't bring you back to us. Give everyone hugs and kiss's from me. I love you.
September 24, 2013
Andrew, there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I have a picture of you on the coffee table and I must look at it at least 100 times a day and I know you here me saying I love and miss you so much. I know they say it will get better but it never really does. I ware the necklace your mother gave me of you when I go out and most of the time people think you are a movie star and ask who you are and I tell them you are a star probably could have been a movie star if that is what you had chosen to be, but that you were a star in heaven now looking down on the rest of us. Waiting for us to get there with you. Then I get to tell them what a good boy you were and how much you loved everyone, and never looked down on anyone and always tried to help if you could. How great you were in everything. How much you loved you mother, sister, and all the rest of your family. How you thought everybody had good in them and no one should put people down for anything. How you had respect for others and you would take up for them if need be. You took up for me more than once. I was and still am so proud of the young man you were when you left us. I just wish we could have had you longer. I love and miss you so very much. You were beautiful inside and out. Just looking in your eyes made you know that you were love. poppop miss's you also he still wont play his game he just doesn't have the heart to. He sure does enjoy the computer you hooked up for him though. He has learned quite a bit on here. He loves and miss's you also.

I miss you so much. Today, I found a picture that you drew from 2005. Your Mother had it transferred onto a golf towel for me. I went to get a set of old clubs to let a friend borrow, and there it was hanging on the side of the bag. I can't even put into words how much I miss you. I love you Buddy.

There isn't a day that goes by that I don't have you in my mind and heart. I know this hurts so bad knowing I can't see you other than pictures. I pray to God I make to Heaven so I can see you along with your beautiful smile. I love you..

September 10, 2013
Andrew, I pray that you know how much you are loved and missed. You are on my mind all of the time. I try and make it through the day the best that I can, because I know that you would want me to. I cannot even begin to tell you how hard this is. I am so lost without you, but I hold onto my faith that I will see you again and when I do, it will be for eternity. I look so forward to that! In the meantime, please know that you reside in my heart always and that I continue to look for signs that come from you and that I want to make you proud, but more importantly, I want to make GOD proud. I love you Son. Love, Mom

I wished this was a dream and we would wake up. I look at all of your picture all the time. I talk to you and pray you help your Mommy. I get nervous a lot because of your cousins on our side. I get so worried when they are out of my sight. I know Shawn is 21 now , but I still worry. Thomas is 11 and he worries me just as much. I love all my children the same. As you know Sarah is still in Maryland and I miss her like crazy. I miss chatting to MomMom about you and also hearing your voice when you were at her house as well as us being there. I miss everything about you. You put a great spark into your Moms eyes. I know she doesn't have the same spark. I know she she holds up pretty good only in front of us. I know for a fact she is a wreck when no one is around and I understand that 100%.If there's anything I could do for her I would. I wished you could tell me or send someone my way to let me know. I hope you know you meant so much to all of us. We love and will always love you. Thomas is trying to wear his hair like you. He is still denies your gone to a better place. I will promise you this. I will always look at your pictures plus keep your memory alive in my house. I love you always and forever. Please show us as many signs as you can to let us know you know how much you mean to all of us. Please show more to your Mom. I love you...

Today marks ten months since you left. I miss you so much! I am sure you know just how much, since I talk to you several times a day, not to mention I ask God to let you know. I hope he has been giving you all the hugs & kisses that I ask him to do. I am sure he is. Anyway, you are on my mind all the time and I hope you are enjoying your time with all the other loved ones that have passed before you. Tell them all I said hello and I love them. I love you my precious son.... Love, Mom

Andrew,
I just wanted to let you know how much I love and miss you. I have not been able to play XBOX since you passed. I know you want me to, but I have not been able to bring myself to do it yet. You were and always will be my XBOX buddy. I enjoyed all the times you would come over and we would yell and scream at each other like we were brothers. I know your grandmother got a kick out of it as well. I will never forget the time when we were playing and you were suppose to have been on my team, but you were bored so you ended up taking me out of the picture. I remember getting upset because I told you, " Hey, I am suppose to be on your team" all you could do is laugh. How I miss that laugh now, as do many others. I love you Andrew. Love, Pop-Pop

It has been a few days past seven months since you left, I do not feel that it is getting any better and honestly I do not expect it to. I try my best to get through one day at a time. Some days are a little easier than others. I find if I keep myself busy, I don't have much time to think. Andrew, I love and miss you so much! You are always on my mind and live within my heart. You are and always will be my baby.
Love,

Andrew I just wanted to let you know how much I love and miss you. I can't wrap my heart around why you had to go. Your Mom lost her life to live. I can understand how bad it is killing her inside. I know you are with her, but it's not the same. I would do anything for her as well as you and Jessica. My love for my siblings is so dearly stronger than they really know. Please I beg of you help my sissy as you do yours. I love you Andrew and I will have you forever in my heart and on my mind. Love, Aunt Monica

Andrew,
It is so hard to believe that it will be seven months since you left us. I really hate that you had to go. I wish with all my heart that you were still here. You were always so vibrant and alive. There was not a sign that you even had a problem little less pass away from it. You are on my mind always. Your headstone was finally installed. It is beautiful, just like you. I hope it makes you proud. It is only a small fraction of what you have meant to me all these years. My life will never be the same again, because you are not here to share it with me. I love you my precious son.
Love,
Mom

Andrew,
My amazing,talented, handsome son, I miss you so much! I still find all of this unreal! I really do not understand how something like this happened. I keep hoping that I really am in a coma and that I am going to wake up and that it is all
going to be OK, but reality is that it is not! You have left to go back home to heaven and we are here to grieve. I know you are with a lot of people who love you and cherish you but I miss you so much. My heart is broken it two. You are always on my mind and forever in my heart. Everything is so different now. How am I suppose to go on, when I feel as though I have died too? When you left a huge part of me went with you. I know you would want me to be here and take care of Jessica and her babies, but you are my baby and all I want to do is hold you and never let go. Oh what I would do to be able to see your handsome face and to hug and kiss you once more. I continue to hug and kiss your picture, but that is hardly the same. I visit the cemetery and your bedroom every day, but you are not present. I feel you in the room, but I yearn to see you to hold you and to have a conversation with you where you actually get to talk back! I continue to talk to you and I hope one day that you visit me in my dreams or anywhere else that you see fit. I miss you my dear son. Love, Mom

Andrew, It has been awhile since I've been on here. I still don't wont to believe you have left us. Now I have lost my dog too. I told your mom and Jessica that I lost my copilot and now I have lost my shadow. I don't know how much more of this I can take. I was afraid to tell your mom because I know she is still really raw from your lost and I knew it would bring it all back to her full force. And it did. She touched baby as she left and I did also. I kissed her goodbuy as I know you kissed her hello. She was a great dog and you were a great grandson, the best also sweet and kind to me. Loving to spend time with me and watch movies and play games It was always fun when you came to spend the night with me. Always fun when you went with me to Uncle Dans and Mommoms. You kept me from going alone.It's hard without you and now I'm without baby. You have to help me get through this. I'm trying my best to be strong like daddy told me too, but it's getting harder all the time. It sure isn't getting easier. Not that I thought that it would. I don't really know how anything can. I wish we could have you back. I know that will never happen, but I can still wish right baby? I will always love and think of you everyday as long as I live. You will never be forgotton as long as you have family and friends I love you so much always and forever.

Andrew,
It is mom again, I love and miss you more and more each day that passes. I will never forget how very blessed I was to have you for my son! God could not have blessed me anymore than what he did. I just wish I still had you here with me. I know you are here in spirit but I miss the conversations, the hugs and kisses and most of all seeing your handsome face everyday. You are and always will be my hero! I am still learning things from you. I love you more than you can ever imagine. Keep sending the signs. I love you baby.
Love,
Mom

Andrew,
I miss you so much! The pain and hurt is just so unreal! I think I am still in shock. I have trouble believing that you are gone. You should have never left before me. I hate it will a passion. I am left here to grieve and miss you. It is a terrible feeling. I know that a lot of people miss you. I met your best friend Gabe and his family. What a great bunch! You surrounded yourself with wonderful people. I am in charge of my own life and my own choices and I know that you and God are proud of me. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. I thought I was here to take care of you and Jess but now it appears I am here to take care of Jess, Nevaeh, Dante and Autumn. Andrew your girlfriend is amazing. I have grown to love her. I see why you loved her so much. I would have been proud to have her for a daughter-in-law. I have already accepted her as one. She is a part of our family. I know you would have wanted it that way. I am doing everything in my power to honor you son. I love you and Jess more than anything in this world. That will never change! You cannot lose me! When it is my turn to go, I know you will greet me with that amazing, wonderful smile that you have. You will take me by the hand and give me uggs and isses. I will be your shadow. Eternity sounds great! Mother's Day is on Sunday, I will put up the card you gave me last year. I was so proud of that card! Andrew you are on my mind 24/7! I love you and I want you to know that you enriched my life everyday that you were a part of it. You were suppose to be the student and I was suppose to be the teacher. It worked that way for awhile but you ended up being the best teacher there was. You have taught so many people and you have touched so many people by being a kind, loving person. I thank God everyday for giving me the priviledge of being your mom. I could have not picked a better son, nor would I want anyone else but you. Continue sending the signs. I love you baby!
Love,
Mom

Andrew,
Hi son, I have not wrote, as you know, I have been busy doing other things for you. I have to stay busy or I think too much and when I think to much I start to have anxiety attacks. I am taking medication for the attacks and the depression, but that is only a bandade to a heartache that will never go away. I never knew pain like what I am going through. I feel as though I have this flesh eatting bacteria that is eatting away at my heart and soul. Part of my is existing here on this earth, I call it hell, and the other part has one foot in heaven with you. I walk around like a zombie at times. Other times, I try to hide my hurt and pain so that other people will not worry about me. The truth is I do not worry about me anymore because I long to be with you. I love and miss you so much! I wake up each morning and live one day at a time. I know that you would want me to be here to take care of Jessica, Nevaeh, Dante and Autumn. I am doing the best that I can, but a huge part of me is missing because you are not here. I know you are in spirit but I want so bad to hug and kiss you. I cannot wait until I have that opportunity again, I may never let you go. We may just have to be attached in heaven! I love you my precious son!
Love,
Mom

Andrew,
My sweet son, it has been awhile since I wrote last, but that is only because I have been busy working on other projects for you. I just finished reading what Jessica wrote and I can relate to a lot of what she said. I walk around half dead! I exist from one day to the next. The only things that keep me getting up each morning is the fact that there are things that are not completed where you are concerned and the other is that I know Jessica needs me here for her. If it were not for those two reasons, I would be with you in a heartbeat! I Carried you for nine months, gave birth to you and raised you practically by myself most of your life. I was blessed that your Uncle Ray and Bill were there for you, when you needed them. I know they both love you as though you were their own son! Each night that I go to bed, I make sure I go into your room and give you uggs, isses and eskimo kisses! I sit in your chair, in front of the tv I bought you for Christmas two years ago and I talk to you, but like Jessica said I do not get to hear you talk back. I miss seeing your handsome face everyday. The most I have ever been away from you is a week and that would be when your dad would get you for his summer vacation. I could barely handle the week you were gone then, little less how long you have been away from me now. It seems like eternity already! You and Jessica are my world. I pray to God each day to give me strength to go on. I have been blessed by so many wonderful people. Your friends have picked me up many times when I have fallen and I am grateful to each and everyone of them! You were surrounded with a great group of friends who loved and still love you. God blessed me with the best son a mom could ask for. Thank you for always being there for me and for making my life a better one by being a huge part of it! I love you baby!
Love,
Mon

Andrew,
I miss you so much! Everything just seems to be getting so much harder every day that goes by. I don't see how time can do anything but break all of our hearts even more. I feel like I don't even know who I am without you! You have been a part of my life for the past 16 years and that's a majority of my life, ya know! I don't know how any of us will ever be ok. I feel so lost and alone without you! You're my baby brother, how could this happen? I keep trying to tell myself that this can't be real, but then with every day that goes by that I don't get a call or text from you I realize that it is real. I look at pictures of you and can't understand why I can't see you anymore, why I can't hear your voice anymore! I know God needed you and you are in a better place now like everyone feels the need to express to me, but I still miss you. My heart still breaks every morning that I wake up without you here with us. I hold so much inside all the time, because I feel like I have no one to talk to. I talk to you before I go to bed every night, but I long to hear your voice talking back to me! I want so badly to make you proud and to do something with my life to make it worth living....but it just feels so hard to do that right now. I feel like I'm stuck, like I'm lost. I've been feeling like my feet are stuck in quicksand, and I don't have anyone to pull me out! I promise you I will find myself again...I do not know how long it will take, but I will do it for you. I know you want me to do good for my family. I love you so much Andrew! I will never be without you, you are in my heart and tears!
Love Always,
Your Sissy

Andrew, I just want you to know I love you so much. I still can't believe this. I have all good memories of you. I never saw you mad. You always had a smile on your face. Thanks for being good to Thomas when we come up. He still has all the stuff you put on his psp for him. I can remember that day as if it was yesterday. I wished we could start all over. The picture your Mom made for us of you is so good. It's like when you are looking at your picture you are looking back. You look so handsome and happy. That's how I remember you. You never was ignorant to me. I want to thank you for touching my heart the way you have. You are missed so much. I know you know , but I just want to say it anyhow. I remember when we was up and you stay at MomMom's with us. It was funny when we left Sarah downstairs and you went upstairs with us. Sarah was so mad at us. We got a good laugh out of that. We tried to tell her not to fall asleep. I loved to here you tell us stories about what you did to Bill. All the pranks he fell into. Jessica told us you got that from your Mom. She said you took over doing pranks to him. You always did make us laugh like MomMom said. You would even get choked up when you would tell us the pranks you pulled. You would smile with your eyes. You already looked like an Angel with the love in your eyes. Please continue to help your Mom. Your Mom really needs you. I do pray for the end of the world to come. That way we all can be together again. I know it's not soon enough for your Mom. Please give MomMom & PopPop Duncan & PopPop Holdren & Uncle Harold Hugs and Kisses from me. I will always love you. Love Aunt, Monica oxoxoxoxox

Andrew,
I just wanted to let you know that I miss you so much. You have been my dear friend since fifth grade. I consider you like a brother. The day that you passed was my seventeenth birthday, but then you knew that because you were amazing enough to make me a card. I will cherish that card for the rest of my life! You are such a sweet and wonderful young man and I was blessed to have you as a friend. I have made a memory box of you and I have also been in touch with your mom. When I get the opportunity, I am going to meet with your mom to show her the memory box. Thank you again for being a very good friend to me.
Love,

Andrew, It is still to hard to believe what has happened to us. How will we ever get over your loss? The pain seems to grow day by day not get easier like they tell us it will.Your mom is a mess and so are Jessica and Uncle Ray. I don't know what to do for them. They need you to come to them so they can feel you again. Please come to them in their sleep and let them know you are ok and are happy. They need to know why you had to go. You were our joker the one who made us laugh who made us feel good when we were down. What can we do without that? Poppop isn't himself either. He stays at home all the time now. He doesn't enjoy anything. You know how he loved his xbox and he never plays it anymore. When we lost you it messed us all up. I think we all need help of some kind. I love and miss my co-piolet. I miss your sitting next to me so I can rub your back and play with your hair. I miss everything about you.I will always keep you in my heart and on my mind forever until it is my time and I hope you will be there for me. I love you

Andrew, I don't know where to start. I'm still in denial. My mind just can't seem to process this. I really don't want it to. All I know is I was given the honor of being with your mother when she brought you into this world. It was one of the most beautiful and tense times of my life. It's hard to stand and watch your child in so much pain and not be able to help her. She was pushing so hard I thought she was going to push her eyes out. She didn't want to take as long as it did with Jess. When you were out and they put you in her arms the love and joy on her face was so strong you couldn't help but cry. The more she looked at you the more the love grow, and the pain was gone with the first glance. It was such a beautiful moment one I will never forget and will cherish for the rest of my life. It's a whole different feeling then when you are having your own child. You have been such a beautiful child since the beginning. Always loving and giving with that beautiful smile on your face. You loved beating your grandfather at games because it would make him so mad. We loved every minute we had with you. Then came the call that you were having problems at school and before we got half way there your mom called and said they had taken you to the hospital to go there instead. I hung up and called your buddy to let him know. I know how much he loves you and would want to be there for you. When we got to the hospital it was to late. Just one look at your mom told me that. When they let us see you the look on her face broke my heart. She kept shaking you trying to wake you up. I told her she couldn't wake you. She said why can't he be a miracle. I told her I didn't know. She never left your side until they made her go. Your buddy got to the hospital as fast as he could and he was with us until they made us leave, he was broken also, and still is. We all are. I don't know how we will get through this. I know you are watching over us all. I feel you the strongest when your mom is here. I was never subpose to be there when you left here. It's something I don't want to remember. I guess that is why I can't except that you are gone. I feel so bad for your mom, Jessica, and Uncle Ray. I wish I could do something to help ease there pain, but there is nothing that will do that. I love you now and always. I'll never miss you because I'll never except that you are gone. I can't it's just to hard to except. Just looking at your pictures brings me peace. So long for now. I'll be with you again someday. I love you

Baby, it's been almost two months, and i can hardly take it, nothing's the same without you. i feel like everyday is the same just trying to make it through the day. i still listen too all your old voicemails almost everynight before i go too sleep. all of this still doesn't feel real. The only time i really get some sleep lately is when i come over too stay with your mommy and mr. bill, and i get too sleep in your room. school has been terrible, but i sware sometime's i hear your voice or i think you pass by me sometimes there. i'd give/do anything to have you back no matter what. you are my first love and it's really hard for me to believe that i could ever move on, cause no one will ever even compare too how amazing you are. i dont think i can ever really accecpt that your gone, everything has been going by so fast. before you went to class that day you passed away, you walked me to my class kissed me, asked me how my day was, told me you love me, and hugged me and told me you never wanted too let me go. :( i just wish now that i never did, i know it seems silly i know you had to go to class, but still it's like i feel i wish there could've been someway i knew or if there could've been anything i could've done. everything remind's me of you, but i keep having dreams of you which is somewhat comferting although i'd rather have you here. it breaks my heart to know that you can't be. i love you with all my heart andrew. <3

Andrew,
It is me again, I order a new comforter for your room. I know how much you liked tigers, so I ordered a tiger comforter set. I am going to put your comforter that is on your bed now in a protective plastic so that I can perserve it. I miss and love you so much! You, Jess and Bill are my world! I just could have never imagined being without either one of you, especially you since you are the youngest out of the bunch. Everyday I wake up is a struggle. I really wish the end of the world would just come and we all could be together again. I hate going through the motion of life, but that is all I am doing. I love you my precious, handsome son.
Love,
Mom

The wall words came in today. I am going to try and get them up hopefully over the weekend! I love and miss you so much. I really do not know how I am suppose to get through this grief that I feel. It hurts so bad! I really wish it was me instead. Please continue to send signs. You have been doing a great job :-) I just wish I could see you and have you talk back to me. I know one day that will happen. I just hope it doesn't take too long. Everything has changed since I have lost you....

Andrew,
I love and miss you! I will never let your memory die! That is my promise to you! I am doing everything I can to end up in the same place as you are. I am now going to church every Sunday. Bill and I are having a memorial brick done in your name. It will be placed at the Good Shepherd school. I am looking into other things as well. I want to continue to make you and God proud! You are my angel and I love you so very much! Your room has become a shrine. I have pictures up all over the place. I bought wall words to put on your wall. The one quote says, "When someone you love goes to Heaven, Heaven is in your home". I feel your presence here. I may not be able to see you, but I feel you. I have also heard that God is the best babysitter. I know you are sixteen and do not need a babysitter, but I am sure you could use some guidance. I continue to look after Autumn and I will until she wants me to stop. I hope that is never! She is such a sweet girl. I now know why you love and loved her so much. I love her as well. She is very special to both Bill and me. I am glad you brought her into our lives. Jessica and I are continuing to deal with our grief the best way we can. It is the hardest thing either of us have ever had to do. We love and miss you so much and our lives will never be the same without you. Please continue to send us signs and feel free to visit anyone of us in our dreams. Thank you for being the best son a mother could ask for.
Love,
Mom
PS. I will continue to stay in touch with your friends. I know who they are!

Andrew,
This coming Wednesday will be six weeks without you! I hate this so much. I really wish God would have taken me first instead of leaving me here to grieve. I hurt so bad! I feel like my insides are being ate up! Everyone keeps reminding me that I need to stay strong and not do anything stupid, but it is so hard. I always thought I was a strong person, until this. I am on my knees! I pray so much and I have been going to church regularly because I need to end up where you are! You are on my mind 24/7. I am still looking out for Autumn, I know you would want me to do that. She is a really good person. I see why you loved and still love her so much. Autumn and I watched a movie in your room last night. We put your picture facing the tv so you could watch it with us too. All your friends were logging on to Xbox. I love you and miss you so much. I hope you are still feeling the uggs and isses I give you each night before I go to bed! Keep sending the signs. I love you baby!
Love,
Mom

We went to Marble slab a couple of weeks ago and ordered a cake for Wyatts birthday party. He was sitting on my shoulders and a woman came in and looked up at him and said "Hi Buddy," I almost cried. I carry the memory of you in my heart. You are and always will be my Buddy.

Bill and I went to your school today and handed out the wristbands and bookmarks we had made for your friends. What a good group of friends you have. They all love and miss you! It was so hard being in the school, I have never been there without you. I could feel your presence. I love and miss you so much! I am stil having anxiety attacks. Please keep sending the signs. Feel free to visit me in my dreams. I hope you feel my isses and uggs every night, because I do continue to give them to you, just as I still go into your room when I come home from work to say hi to you. I know you can hear me. I love you my handsome, caring, wonderful son!

The wristbands I ordered for your friends at school came in today. They really turned out nice. I just wish they did not have to say, "In Loving Memory of Andrew Gott". I miss you so much. Tomorrow will be five weeks and it now seems life a lifetime. I still hate the house being so quiet. I would do anything to have you back but I know that is not possible! I still talk to you everyday and I still give you hugs and kisses but I have to use a picture to do it! Please keep sending me signs. I need to have them. Please feel free to visit me anytime in my dreams as well. I have been waiting for you to come. I Pray you know how much I love and miss you. I am trying to stay strong for everyone but it is so hard! This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my entire life. I just wish I had longer with you. You have been a blessing to me for close to seventeen years! I thank God everyday for allowing me to raise and care for you. I just wish I had more time! I love you my wonderful, amazing son.
Love,

Andrew,
I went to church today and of course they mentioned your name again. I have been extremely emotional today, more so than what I have been. I am taking my medication, but it does not appear to be working too good. Amazing Grace was one of the songs we sang today. I did sing, just for you. Hopefully you heard and saw me from your lovely view in heaven. I miss you so much! The pain is still unreal but I guess I just have to learn to live with it and go on from one day to the next, until I see you again. I just sent your friend Isaih a message on facebook. I did that for you. I KNOW THE PEOPLE YOU CARED ABOUT MOST AND I PROMISE, I WILL LOOK AFTER THEM, ALTHOUGH I KNOW YOU ALREADY ARE. Thank you for all the signs you continue to send. I got a few more today. I love you Andrew. Someone left you a beautiful nick-nack of two doves at the cemetery. Unfortunately I do not know who to thank. Autumn said she would check around. I spent several hours in your room. God knows how much I miss you!!!! I will just continue to exist.
Love, Mom

Andrew,
It has been one month and two days since you left. Nothing is getting any better! I hate not having you here to talk to. There is no noise in the house. I miss hearing you yelling at the people on xbox and coming downstairs to ask me what is for dinner. I miss the toothpaste you would leave in the sink, the soapsuds you would leave in the shower and the running of the dryer every morning. I miss seeing your handsome face and one of the most beautiful smiles I have ever seen. I miss everything about you. I can't even go to an Arby's, I even have trouble looking at one. People keep telling me that one will eventually learn to cope with the grief but I honestly don't know how that is possible. You are the only person I want to see and talk to right now and you are not here! Ok, you are here in spirit. I just can't see you or touch you or hear your amazing voice. I really hate this! I know you are in a better place but I am living in hell! I am suppose to go to work and do my job like I have for years but all I can think about is you. You are on my mind 24/7. I feel so helpless. I need to know what happened and why. I go to the cememtery everyday and ask that same question. I pray to God that I find some answers and so far I have none. All I know is that you and Jessica are the two precious beings that I walked away with when my marriage to your dad ended. You and Jess are the two blessings that came out of that relationship and marriage. I love you Andrew! You are my angel.
Love, Mom

Andrew,
It is so hard to believe it has been a month since you left us! The pain and the hurt is heart-wrenching! Life as I know it has changed. Since you left a huge part of me is missing! I hate it! You have been one of the biggest blessings in my life, Jessica and Bill being the other two. I never thought I would have to live my life without you. I really don't know how I am suppose to do that since I always put you and Jessica first. I am not use to being in a house without a beautiful, amazing child in it! I do not understand how other parents do it. I have been blessed by having an incredible family, good friends and an amazing support group from the church. I know you are responsible for sending some of them to look after me. You said you would never leave me by myself and you haven't. You live in my heart and you will continue to reside there until I meet you in heaven. In the poem you left for me you said that when it was my time to cross over, you would take me by the hand. I am looking forward to that day! In the meantime, I have a handsome guardian angel looking after me. I will continue to visit your grave everyday because I find comfort in knowing that you know I care enough to go. I enjoy spending time in your room because I feel your presence there. I love you Andrew...
Love, Mom

I hate this house without you being here with me! It is so empty and quiet. I miss you so much! I really do not know how I am suppose to find the strength, wisdom and courage to go on. I talk to you all of the time. I know you can hear me but you are unable to reply. I will always continue to talk to you as I will always give you ugs & isses goodnight! I promise I will never let your memory die. You are and always will be the best son a mother could have and ask for. Thank you for blessing my life with the best sixteen years a mom could ask for! I love you Andrew and I will for eternity!

Andrew,
My sweet baby brother, I miss you so so much!It is so hard for me to sit here and write to you, because I still cannot cope with the fact that you have left us. It hurts so bad! I know that none of us will ever be the same again. I have so many emotions, so many memories, so much love for you that I am constantly feeling. I think of you constantly! I have your picture on the end table by my front door, so I see you before I ever leave the house and as soon as I come in. Plus I had to put you in the living room because I know if you had ever come to the house that would be where you would have spent most of your time since that is where our 50" tv is and the game systems! You would have had so much fun here with me, leon, and the kids if you would have made it out here with Mommy in April. I wish for that all the time. I wish that this would have never happened, that you would still be here, that you guys were coming out here in April. I miss you so much Andrew, more than ever now! It hurts me so much to know that I will never be able to give you another hug or kiss, that I will never hear you tease me about being taller than me now. There are so many little things about you that I miss, some things that you would think I would want to forget about, like all the little things you would do to get on my nerves. I would give anything to have you back, though, doing everything you could to get on my nerves! But since we have gotten older you didn't really do those things anymore anyway. You really matured a lot over the past years, and I wish I had been home more to experience that. It was so easy to talk to you, and I think Mommy was right, we did get closer after I moved. I think, though, that we really started getting really close around the time I had Nevaeh! I know you were so proud of her and proud to call yourself an Uncle. I wish you could see her and play with her now! You would have so much fun with her! I get so sad when I think about the fact that Nevaeh will never get to play with her Uncle Andrew again, or that Dante will never get to meet his Uncle Andrew. I know you didn't get to meet him but I know you were already proud of him too. Autumn told me that you had shown her and her Nana all the pictures I had sent you. I know you would have taught Nevaeh and Dante so much! Andrew this is so hard, I can't stand talking about you in the past tense! You should still be here! You are still here in our hearts, but I just need to hear your voice...I need to get those random text messages from you, I need to see you gamertag on xbox live asking us to join a party. I need you back! Mommy needs you back. I pray for her more than myself, I know her heart is completely shattered now. I wish there was something I could do to ease her pain. You were her baby, and she will never be the same again since losing you. The world is missing out now. Someone told me that this world just didn't deserve you, and I really think that is true. This world is so messed up, it is such a dark place and it just doesn't deserve the abundant light you had to share. Your light is better suited for heaven, but it's still hard for me to accept that. I have so many things running through my head right now, so many things that I have to say to you! I guess I took it for granted, thought you would always be here and now I'm trying to hold onto every fiber of you, every memory I have with you, every time you called me sissy, every hug you've ever given me....sometimes I really wish it had been me instead of you. I know, I know...I have my children to think about, and you know I will always take care of them and give them the best. But you know that I've always loved and protected you, and if there was a way that I could have protected you from this you know I would have. I want you to know, though, that I will protect and be there for Autumn the same way I did for you. I know you had become her protector and that you loved her and never wanted to see her hurt, so I will do everything I can to look out for her. No one will ever be able to take your place, but you know I will look out for her like a big sister, like I always did for you. Now that I've met her I can see exactly why you loved her so much. She has been around a lot for Mommy, and the two of them have gotten pretty close now. They find comfort in spending time together, so I'm definitely glad that they have each other since I'm so far away. Andrew, I don't know if I'll ever be able to accept this. You are always in my heart! You always have been....before I got married and had kids, you and Mommy were my world, it was the three of us against the world! Once I got married and had kids, you guys were still my world, you just had to share it. So losing you just doesn't make any sense to me! I've lost part of my world, part of my life. I don't understand how people expect me to "move on with my life" when I've lost such a big part of it! I could never move on from you or leave you behind...and you should know that I never will!
I love you little brother!
Save me my spot in heaven, I still owe you a netflix movie!

I don't know if I ever told you this, but when Tammy and I first started talking about kids I told her that I did not think that I could ever love a kid more than I loved you. It feels like I have lost one of my own son's, and I can barely stand it. I love and miss you. Your Buddy, Uncle Ray.

Andrew Justin,
You mean the world to me, you were the best boyfriend anyone could've ever asked for. you told me that as soon as you saw me when we first met that you fell in love with me instantly, We were "bestfriend's" who liked eachother then. This past summer when we first started dating; june 20th 2010 <3 we knew from the start that we wanted to be together forever, get married and have a family. We had it all planned out, it kill's me to know it can't come true anymore. life without you will never be the same, this all just doesnt feel real to me. you made me a better person, and we are so close. you made me the happyest person alive, we may have had our arguement's but nothing that didnt make us stronger in the end.

Andrew,
I am getting on the spiritual signs you are leaving me. I am so proud of you my precious son! I miss you so much but I know you are in a much better place with our heavenly father. I cannot wait until I am reunited with you! In the meantime, I have to honor you and make sure that your memory lives on. I have been blessed to have the priviledge of calling you son. You have made me a better person and I love you so very much! I realize you are still with me but it is in a whole different form. I just yearn to hold you and kiss you and do all the things we use to do. I still do hug and kiss your beautiful picture that I have of you every day and night. Jessica came across the songs you were saving to make a cd for Autumn and she found the song you left for me from Boys to Men, " A Song for Mama". Thank you so much for thinking of me and for loving me with all your heart! You are and always will be my special angel. I love you, Andrew! Love, Mom

Andrew,
My beautiful baby boy my life as I know it has changed forever! I am broken. I have a hole in my heart that is beyond repair. I loved you before anyone. I carried you for nine months. When you were born you were the apple of my eye. You had one of the most beautiful smiles I have ever seen or will ever see again. I don't know how I am suppose to go on when all I want to do is to join you. Children are not suppose to die before their parents! I would have glady taken your place. All I do is cry and ask WHY, WHY, WHY!!!! Andrew you have been a blessing to me. The day I found out that I was pregnant with you and once you were born you were and have been the number one man in my life!!! I love you son!!!!! You are and always will be my hero!!!!!
Love, Mom

Tina we know how Andrew loved you and still does. You was his rock and stll are as well as he was yours. You did everything for him and he knew he could count on you as well as Mom, Dad, and Uncle Ray. Ray thought of him as his son. I know Andrew loved me also. He was so good to his cousins Shawn, Sarah and Thomas. We love him so much. It hurts so bad. You know he thought the word of you. Andrew will always hold a special part of my life. I will keep his memory alive in my house hold. I wished I was closer to you. I know it won't be the same for you. I do know Andrew is still with you. He has always been proud to be your son. Tina please get the strenght from God and Father Jay. They are there for you. You need to visit that school also. I know its not the same , but it does ease some of the pain for a little while. Andrew is showing you signs. We love you and Andrew just as well as Jessica. I love you sis please take care of yourself. Please let your close family help you thru these times you need them the most. love, Monica oxoxo

Only through my children have I heard of how a remarkable young man you were. I was beside myself when I found out you had to leave this world at such a young age. May your family find comfort with the memories you have made for them and may your soul rest in peace. You will be missed by so many.

Frank and Jess,
I wish I had words to comfort and sustain you in your grief, but I know there are none that will take away the pain you feel. My hope is that in time your heart will begin to heal.
Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow
Lovingly Submitted,
Vene’, Tre, Brent and Triana.

You have left us to be an angel. You were such a good boy, you always had a smile and a hug for everyone. I will miss the way you smiled at me when I asked "what's up with your hair"..you always knew I was just ribbing you. You will always be around, in the sunshine, the rainbows, the rain, everywhere. Safe passage to you sweet boy. I love you.

You have been called home to be an angel. You were a good boy, always a hug and smile for everyone. I will miss the way you smiled at me when I'd ask what's up with your hair..you always knew I was just ribbing you. I know you'll always be around, you're part of the sunshine, the rainbows, and even the rain. Safe passage to you, sweet boy. I love you.

Andrew , we used to hang out in middle school .
i was in eighth & you were in seventh . You hung out with my friend taylor , thats how we met . When we all hung out all you would do is make us laugh til ' we cried . You Were very smart ! i remember when we were in the hallway & you told taylor you passed a test & that would make your grade a B and she said how proud of you she was .Whenever i needed a laugh then you would find away to do that . When Anyone ever needed a hug , it was you that would do it (: As we moved on , i became a freshman & you were still in eighth grade , So unfortunatly we didnt see or talk anymore . Well now im a Junior , & you're a Sophomore . I never had the guts to step up and say hi , i figured you 'd forgot who i was .. but you didn't you'd always say hi to me and you knew how to make a day better when i or anyone else had a bad day . Might i say since you & Autumn , i can say that you 've made her the happiest girl on earth , all she does is smile & talk about you . When i'd ask about you she'd do nothing but smile (: But now that you're gone you will be missed by EVERYONE ! you are loved Your family , is the luckiest family , & us friends are blessed to have you in our lives . I miss you . I extend my deepest sympathy .
