ANDY GONZALES

You were there when I was being bullied in school, I loved how you laughed at my corny kid jokes. You made being at the boys and girls club the highlight of my days. I wish I could hear you laugh one more time. I miss and love you. Thank you for making this little refugee girl feel welcomed.

Valerie, I just want to say that you are still in my heart and on my mind everyday. I cannot imagine the pain you carry. I loved Andy like my nephew, he was my nephew. I cry every time I think of him or when one of my girls talk about him. I know he is in heaven now and I know that he's hangin' with all the rest of the family thats there. I believe in my heart that he is with you and your family and maybe sometimes he pops in on someone else once or twice to play a trick or two on them. ...

I can't help but fall into tears at the thought of the last words we shared. I thank the Lord every time you come to mind that he gave me that little nudge to give you a call which was so random. We had lost so many before you and I never thought that pain would echo again. But know this, that your family is in good hands and will be taken care of no matter what. Charlie is such an angel keep your eye on her from above. I know she'll bring nothing but smiles to your face...

With...

I would just like to say I was a classmate of Andy's. Its hard to imagine someone my age gone. He was a funny guy with a wonderful sense of humor.
