I am sorry to hear of Andy's passing and am very sorry for your loss. Andy was one of my best childhood friends as you know Jeanette. You were like a second Mom to me. I haven't seen Andy or talked to him in years but he had a profound impact on me. Andy's artistic ability when we were in Jr. high amazed me! This is going to be a very heart wrenching day for me. I will be in prayer for your family and will look forward to seeing Andy again in heaven. Greg Murray.
