To the Wheeler family, please accept my deepest sympathies on Andrew's passing. We just saw him last week it seems, I will miss him and his smile. He was such a brave and strong man, who so loved life, and his family. God Bless Andy, be at peace. As he was an angel on earth, he is still, now only watching over you from a distance. On behalf of the Levine Center and my own family as well, please accept our deepest sympathies. Kellie A. Morton
