Andy was a truly good friend. I have many memories of our days at Bridgewater College and those memories will never be forgotten. Andy, you will be missed. My sympathies go out to the entire family.

Dear Morris Family,
Our son Shawn Brent Gerald 28, was killed in a motorcycle accident in Radford, VA on September 28th. We feel your pain and we are praying for you that God will help you through this terrible time. God has helped us through our tragedy as we lean on Him. The first thing that came to our minds was "Why" but we realized God does not make mistakes. As Christians we know one day we will see Brent again. I hope and pray you have that same assurance. If you need to contact us to share your pain feel free to do so. God Blees You!
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart: and lean not unto your own understanding."
