My deepest sympathies to Andy's family and many close friends. He is sadly missed by our "dance troupe" at Maxwell's.
Andy, remember the night you tried to help me locate my car at 2 am on the turnpike tolls?
And I still look for your black Caddy DeVille in your favorite parking spot on Friday nights.

May God bless you,

Harriet

A few thoughts..... Life is here and suddenly gone. I’m saddened by Andy leaving so early, but it was wonderful to have known him for the brief period of time I did. Certain people and places are carried in our memories forever. Andy is one of those people. He lit up the room with his smile, humor and wit. Times were never dull with him making us laugh. Andy was simply a good person! These memories will always linger in my mind, and he’ll be forever in my heart.

Comfort to Andy’s family and friends in this time of sorrow. May the happy times and memories of Andy live on, and God’s peace surround you.

With deepest sympathy....

My Dearest Andy,
There are no words to describe how you touched my life. Your smile, your hugs, your playfulness, your laughter and your love will forever be etched in my memory and in my heart.

Wrapped in your words at leaving time
The touch of you warm still on my body in the night rain.
Your fragrance imbedded on my clothes and in my mind.
Passion my part.
We passed in and out of each other’s presence…
Momentarily…again.
Not being closed, I was open to your flow…
And falling so naturally and hungrily into your thoughts,
My protection fell away
To reveal all…
My soul struggling to dance alone,
To be free with you
To be one with you.
In awe of your spirit
Before you would slip away,
My heart would grow full of your light,
And I would break a bit to grow…

Love forever, Sianny.
