I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Andrew. I had the pleasure of meeting him while he was in treatment. He was a very bright man that was always smiling and gracious to all around him. We will always remember his ability to help others even during his times of struggle. It was a pleasure to be able to work with him during his short time here. Praying for him and the Giblin Family.

My deepest sympathy over the loss of your son. Though I didn't have the honor of knowing Andrew, I have two friends who have lost kids to the same demon. Andrew is now free. Praying for God's comfort and strength for you.

Your loss has touched everyone here at the Highway District, as we all worked with Andrew and came to know what a hard worker and overall, a very good person he was, despite his problems. Whatever we can do to help you and your family, please don't hesitate to ask.
