There are no words that could express my love for Andrew. He was my big brother, friend, and often times dad. We shared a common bond and that was our love for Aunt Mary and each other. I will miss him greatly. I will miss being his driver whenever we had family gathering or when he came to town. I will miss the conversation we had on the phone and how he always called Breonna Treonna., and asked if Tyler bo was still an animal. He will alway be in that special place in my heart alone side Aunt Mary. I love you Andrew

All things work together for good to them that love God. Andrew loved God. His love for us was evident. I thank God for all he shared with us. He was my mother's patient Walmart companion, the bricks breaking champion, and a friend to all five generations of our family.

Much love and adoration,
Vickie

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28

Andrew loved God. All five generations of my family were touched by my uncle Andrew. His love was evident to all of us. He will truly be missed, yet we thank God for his life and all that he shared with us. He was my mother's Walmart partner, my sister's bricks breaking partner, and a friend to us all from the youngest to the oldest. When I was a little girl, he would come from California to visit Aunt Mary. During these times, he would hire me to be his bodyguard to protect him while he was in Tallulah. This duty was passed on to my niece Hope when I got older and moved to Texas. These memories will be cherished forever.

Much love and adoration.
Vickie
