Andy
Three years ago I lost my first true friend. We used to do everything together, we played marbles, cowboys and indians, red light green light and mother may I, we played football, basketball, baseball. We listened and danced to the best music the great sounds of the 1960s and 1970s.

I was there when he took his first steps, I was there when he went on his first date. I was his protector as he grew up from a young boy to an incredible man. I watched him mature and when he...

Dear Andy, It's your birthday October 20th!

And its the third birthday we've spent without you, the pain of losing you is still with all of us but we're so grateful for the time we had with you. You made us smile and laugh so much and we still do when we recall our favorite stories about you.

Dad always gets a twinkle in his eyes when he talks about you and remembers your great athletic ability when you played baseball, how proud he was and still is of you and what you...

Today marks the second year of your passing. We all miss you so much and we think and talk about you often. Dad and mom are okay but you can still see the sorrow in their eyes they miss their son. We tell stories about your funny escapades and laugh a lot, you still bring smiles to our faces. Rest In peace our beautiful son, brother, father and grandfather. We will love you forever, your loving family.

Andy, my dear brother today marks one year since your passing, and we are all still missing you so very much. I would give anything to hear your voice again, to be able to greet you with a hug and tell you that I love you. But, I know you already know that, and I know that you're watching over all of us. I feel as though I'm missing a piece of my heart that is now filled with a void of you being gone from our lives. When I hear a certain song or remember things we did as kids growing up it...

Andy, I'm missing you so much everyday. Last month Suzie and I were in Reno for your birthday. We celebrated your life through tears and laughter. Today we will have our first Thanksgiving without you, which will be another hard day for our family. But we are so grateful for the time we had you in our lives, you were a blessing to us. You will never be forgotten and will always be in our hearts. Love you my dear beautiful brother.

Happy Fathers Day our dear Andy. You were a great father to your children a good son to your loving parents and the best brother to your sisters. You are missed so much by all of us. Not a day goes by that we don't think of you. As a matter of fact a couple of days ago, I was telling my friends some funny stories about you I had them laughing so much. Thank you for the great memories they are now so precious and we will all cherish them. I wish I could hold and hug you and tell you how much I...

Andy, today marks three months that you've been gone from us. We think of you every day and miss you so much. I cried this morning while out walking Saxton. Simetimes the tears just flow from my eyes and I feel such heartache, pain and grief. I feel like we've all been robbed of so many things we could have shared as a family in the coming years. Now we hold you to our hearts and cherish our times together. Mom and Staceys birthdays are coming up it will be hard for them, as you would come to...
