I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Andy. I was a year older than him at Annunciation. I have fond memories of he and Steve Doman.
With Sympathy,

Dear Gaertner Family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I have been away from teaching in Mpls. for over twenty years, but can still picture the innocent little faces of Mark and Andrew. Once, you gave me some of your notecards,Barb, and I still have one that I framed because it reminded me of the lakes that I loved. Now it will be a reminder of your precious boys, as well. I will keep you all in my prayers,
Sincerely, Marilyn (Fraser) Sara

I was stunned and saddened to learn of Andy's illness and passing. I was in his class at AHA. He was such a nice guy. I had such fun dancing up a storm with him at our 5 year reunion. Please know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Gaertners, My heart goes out to you and Andrew, wherever he may be. I remember Andrew always bugging Mark and me to hang with us. Then we became friends as well. Hanging out, playing frisbee, watching movies he was happy and cheerful and made me and everyone else around him feel the same way. Though I didn't see him for many years, I will always remember him.
Mark, hold on to the good times you had. I'm glad that you spent alot of time together this year. Thank you for saying goodbye...
