Not sure what to say?

Louise and Michael, I send my love, hugs and condolences. Where to begin when remembering Uncle Boo. He was the uncle that would give me all the change from his pockets, then a dollar or two as I grew a little older. He would drive 25 miles to drop off a watermelon or a bushel of veggies from the garden. He was the lovable, sometimes cantankerous ☺ chef at the Freeman family events...hard at work cooking, then hard at work sleeping in his lawn chair afterwards! That never changed! There were...

Rest In Peace Andrew.
Your friend and co-worker Philip Morris.

My sincerest heartfelt condolences to Andy's family, friends, and loved ones. Andy was such a warm-hearted and friendly soul who had Godly qualities of graciousness, hospitality, warmth, and genuineness with everyone. His physical presence will be missed but he's left an abundance of genuine fond memories for us all. I pray blessings, favor, contentment and love over all who may be missing Andy right now - and trust they know that "better days" await. Weeping may endure for a night but...

May your hearts be filled with wonderful memories as you celebrate a life well lived. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

My condolences to the family. Uncle Boo will certainly be missed. I have countless memories of things he would say with his unique comedic timing! He was an amazing cook and one of my favorites has to be when I asked how he got his greens to be so tender and he nonchalantly said " I just cook them". RIP Uncle Boo I love you and will miss you dearly.

My sincere condolences to the Bagby and Freeman families. May God grant you comfort and strength during this difficult time.
