Andrew Hynes

Four years ago tonight we went to bed not knowing we that the next day our lives would change forever. Your mother and I share our grief openly and keep your memory alive every day. We talk about you, cry, laugh, and grieve together. I hope you know what your mother continues to do in your name and honor. I know you'd be proud, and that you loved her deeply. We wait patiently in this disordered and chaotic world to someday see you again. We will be whole again. Please say hi to Hahi and...

My beautiful boy.... You brought me the best day of my life (when you were born) and the very worst day of my life when you left this earth. You were so beautiful when you were born and the same in death. This world was not easy for a beautiful soul like yours but I thank God I got to have 41 years with you. I´m glad I never gave up and went through it all with you because those are the times that real love matters the most. It´s so hard to relive this each year and it doesn´t get easier....

Andy, I miss you. Your mother misses you. Connor misses you. This morning I was listening to random music, and the song "Nether Lands" came on. It brought me to my knees; the first year I listened to it daily, but hadn't heard it in a very long time. I felt you were speaking through that song, and it brought tears as well as a sense of peace. I miss you terribly, you beautiful soul.

I am lost without you Andy. We all are. You had the kindest soul, biggest heart, and never spoke unkindly of anyone. Connor talks about you every single day. He says you were the nicest person he ever knew. Smart boy...just like you. I dream of you, that I´m hugging you and talking to you. Please watch over your little boy. There is not a day goes by that I don´t think of you and miss you. In a blink of an eye we will all be together. I love you so much Andy. Love, Mom

I think about Andy every single day. The empty spot in our small family is huge, and I still miss hearing him say, "Hey Aunty."

Andy,

I can still hear your voice saying "Hey Aunty" and the embarrassed look on your face whenever I sang the baby baba song. And blaming me for your fear of lobsters. It is our family history to tell stories. You will always be in our stories; it is how we keep our loved ones alive in our hearts by sharing and continuing those stories. Although I am consumed with sadness, and will miss seeing your beautiful face, I promise to keep your memory alive with those who walked beside...

I am so sorry for your loss for all your families loss. I pray for comfort and peace during this sad time. Continued prayer for your family

Our hearts go out to you, Sue & family. We pray that this message gives you some comfort. Joe sends his love,too.

I was the lucky one to bring you into this world. My last words to were “I love you. I was the last one to see or touch you. Your kindness towards others was unmatched as well as your compassion for every living thing. Your presence was enormous. My heart aches every second. Knowing we will be United again is my solice. My love for you there are no words to describe except it is all encompassing. Be at rest, peace, and free of all pain. I will miss you for every second for the rest of...
