I woke up with u heavy on my heart and mind today. I would normally come and visit you but since the weather is so messy I decided to write. When I come and visit and just have a lil talk with you, I feel so much better when I turn to walk away!!! Your sweet spirit still lives and even though your absent from the body I still get that soothing and comforting feeling as if we were face to face talking!! Love u babes!!

Maddison: I want to see Markell really bad, I mean I know he is in Heaven, but when is he coming over. The innocense of children is so amazing, but I feel my children's pain, my granddaughter's pain, the pain of all who knew and loved Markell. Maine often just sits and stares into space. The basketball games are not the same in my house. I miss hearing Maine, BJ, and Markell so filled with excitement while watching the games and waiting for snacks--preparing a vegetable plate for Markell was a joy....just seeing and hearing my boys and the noise of joy that radiated to the upstairs as the excitement of a basketball game thrilled them. We all miss him dearly, basketball just not the same. I know he is with God and will have amazing stories to tell when I get there....I can almost picture the Lord pouring into Markell and filling his mind with wisdom. The whole life and death process just leaves you drained and hurting....longing for your loved ones. Missing my Markell

Jackie & Aaron, although I am just hearing of the loss of Markel, my heart still goes out to each of you just the same. My deepest condolences to the entire family. I remember playing with that lil boy. You guys are like family to me. Please know "earth has no sorrow that heaven can't heal" and when you feel like the pain is trying to overtake you, my prayer is that God will comfort, keep & make you strong again to endure! May the peace of God carry you through this difficult time and know I am only a phone call away to pray, encourage, listen, and do it all over again if necessary. My love for each of you has never changed!

R.I.P. to one of my bestest of friends Aaron Markel Andrews. I will miss all the good times we had over the last ten years. Its still hard to believe that youre gone. The only thing that can get me thru this is prayer. I trust that you are now with the Lord and there is no more pain. It will be hard this Saturday for me and everyone else that loved you to let you go.
You are truly an angel and I think God that he put you in my life and I will never forget you. My deepest condolences and sympathy to Jackie Andrews and the rest of the family. May God Bless you all and heal the pain that we have
Love you Kel watch over me and be my angel

Family,
Never thought that Saturday would be the last time I would speak with Markel. My heart is heavy, but my mind is clear. I am so thankful for the talk we had, I'm thankful that God gave us that time, and we said things that I will always remember and hold dear. Words can not express the loss I feel. I have wonderful memories that I find myself reflecting on. May God be your strength through the days ahead. I can remember my mom saying God only takes the best...he needed another Angel and his name was Markel. God has him now, no more worries, no more fear, no more pain, and no more concern. He is 100% in the loving arms of God.

My son was in pain Sunday as he sat me down to deliver devastating news that my precious Markel had passed on. I cryed and didn't want to believe it. Markel was a light to my family. Watching him with Maine was a joy because you could feel the love that they shared. He was my child and when he got together with my children they weren't distant cousins they were siblings. I was so proud of how he dealt with his illness and how he vowed to trust in God. God needed another angel and his name was Aaron Markel Andrews. He was wise beyond his years, he always had time for me, when I was sick he sat with me, talked to me, held my hand and told me that he loved me, and oh how I loved him. I grieved my mother's passing and he listened as long as I needed him to because some voids are never filled. Not long ago he asked me if I thought that he was going to die, "we all will", I quickly replied, but it's not if you are going to die, it is important to have a true relationship with God. We talked a lot about God over the last few months and we both believe and trust in God. To say that I will miss his presence in my home and in our lives is an understatement, but I will trust in the Lord because he is taking care of my Markel, my mom is showing him around, my brothers are looking out for him not to mention his grandfather, Jake Andrews, Sr. RIP Markel no more Chemo, bone marrows and no more worrying about anything.

"What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget". RIP BABY BOY...We will miss you!

My heart was heavy when I heard the news. I remember looking into those beautiful eyes and thinking about how loving and kind Aaron was. He was curagious and strong. You should be proud to call him Son, Grandson, Brother, Nephew, Cousin and Friend. In your sorrow, remember that, II Corinthians 5:6-8 tells us that when we Christians die, we go immediately to be with God. To be "absent from the body-present with the Lord."

To my beloved Kel-bear....I'm still in shock that when I call or text you, your not going to answer. I Love You So Much. I don't know how I am going to get through this but I know you are watching over me now and that you are in a better place. You always were my protector and we talked about everything. The last time we talked, we were talking about taking a trip to Hawaii in 2014, that was enough time for you to heal and for me to finish nursing school...You are truly My Best Friend...Everyone who knows you, know how genuine you are...You are now an Angel, continue to watch over me and I can hear u saying now, "you know I am Babe" as only you can say.... Love You Always
