Lake Michigan memories

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

Dear Jane, Erik, Erin, and Mom,
No words can describe the sadness we all feel for the loss of our nephew, cousin, friend and family member. I will always remember singing our hearts out on moms deck that summer in Michigan. How Andy loved to sing! May it be of some comfort knowing his memory lives in our hearts.
What a blessing to know that Andy got to know Christ before he passed away and that one day we will all be together again in Heaven.
We Love You Andy!
Uncle...
