Drew was one of our first clients at TES, both him and his sister. I remember those big brown eyes. He loved his therapists he and they loved him. He was a sweet little boy with so much more to do and see. Sending love to all of his family.

Dear family of Andrew . You do not know me but I am a Mom and a grand mom and it saddens me to think how you must feel. . At Psalm 56:8 David pleaded to God: "Do put my tears in your skin bottle. Are they not in your book? Like David I know that God is aware of your pain and what you
are going through emotionally. He will give you what you need to live each day without Andrew.
