I didn't kno him that well other that we went to the same school and we had a class together our junior year cool guy was very smart like he could read a book and tell you word for word what the book was about. We'll rip Andrew

I didn't know Andrew as an adult or even as a teenager. I met Andrew when he was a toddler and I was his older sister's roommate, away at college. I used to see Andrew in his diapers when I came to Beeville to visit. And I remember when Mary, Andrew, Rose and I all drove from Beeville to Colorado. I was so impressed at how well behaved he was in the car for such a long time...

But I feel like I knew Andrew, because Mary and I kept in touch over the years and over the years I...

Amen, Yes Andrew, I know you are above with God. Altho, I miss your fleshy presence you are still a part of me and your presence is within me. Strange how we have to affirm in our minds though these letters. How can anyone forget you???? I love you and waitly patiently to be with you in Heaven.

It's hard to believe it has already been a whole year. It has gone by so fast yet it still seems like forever.

I just want to see Andrew walk through our door one more time and hug his neck. Not a day goes by that I don't think about him. I miss him so much. The kids still talk about him as if he is still in San Antonio. They too can't wait to get to Heaven to be with him.

Love you!

August 27th. Dear Andrew it is hard to believe you have been with the Lord nearly a year. It still seems like yesterday when I got the call from Mary. The hurt will always be in my heart but honey so are you and I am greatful that the Lord blessed me with you and I had 24 years of the flesh with you and now your spirit is with me all the time. Your friends Aries is doing great and will be a father in September. David Henley's ex-wife is now rec'd by our God too. God bless you Andrew your...

To Andrew's Family,
Although we didn't know Andrew well, we liked the young man we were getting to know. Most often when we saw Andrew it was at Mary's house and a lot can be understood about Andrew by the way he was around his sister and his nephews. He was a very loving brother and uncle. We miss him and remember him fondly. Every time I see anything Superman-----I can't help but think of Andrew.
Lovingly to all, Janice and Harry

andrew my love you are on my mind daily and I just want to say it will soon be 10 months closer to seeing you. I am happy you are with God and watching over all of us here on earth.
love your mom Rosemarie

This is not a condolance but an affirmation of my love for you Andrew and I know you are happy with God your journal says a whole lot to me so I can honestly say you are with God and it is nine months closer to seeing you again. Love your mom Rosemarie
