Not sure what to say?

Andy was one of the brightest students that I can recall. He was in a chemistry class that I taught and I remember thinking that he could have been teaching the class in my place. He had a first-class intellect for chemistry! I am so sorry to see him gone so young.

Andy, I remember you always being gentle with others, even if you didn't always receive that in return. Sometimes that was hard for me to understand, but you were both book smart and street smart. You were always kind, patient, and very much the 15-year-old adult at the lunch table. I choose to remember your smile, humor, and eating lunch with us in 10th grade. My sincerest condolences to your family. You will be missed.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. So very sorry for your loss.

Andy was always so helpful while working with him at Kroger. He will be greatly missed. Rest in Heaven, Andy.

I was one of Andrew's physical therapists at My Michigan. He was wonderful to work with. Always willing to try his best. I am so sorry for your loss. He was a sweet young man.
