Lord May you be with his family and hold them close to your heart. Andrew and I had known each other for 3 years and he has been a wonderful, loving and caring friend to me. Oh boy he is hilarious as well, he would pick on me with jokes that would have us cracking up laughing. He loved me and expressed that multiple times, this hurts me knowing that this isn't a joke or dream.
