Curtis Dwayne Andrews

Dwayne....like I said on Sept 2,2011 this date in my life will NEVER be forgotten. It still seems unreal even though time has slipped ten years ahead. I often think about the memories we made. The many, many days & nights hearing you talk, laugh, joke, wearing out those piano keys like no one I've ever heard & just being the Dwayne I always knew. From the time I first met you when you were 15 years old until the day I stood in that hospital room as I watched the medical team shake their head...

Dad,
They said "time will heal".....wow! They were WAY WRONG!! There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about you. I just wish I could talk to you one last time. There is so much advice that I have to seek from other dad's. That's not what I had planned as a boy. I wish I could ask you the questions about "life". However, I am very very thankful for the raising that you gave me. Now that I'm a father myself I see so much of you in me towards Curtis Cooper. I'm am proud to be...

The big 50! Happy Birthday Bro!

Dwayne,

Like all the others I can't believe it has been four years since you left us. I still miss you and still expect to see you come through the door with Jennifer, Payton and Logan when we have a family get together like we did last Saturday when Mom and Dad were visiting us. You built a strong family that continues to uphold the Christian values you instilled in them as a Christian husband and father. They continue to press forward in your absence from this earth in a way...

We still love and miss you. We will all sing together as your fingers fly over the ivories. What a day that will be!!
Don and I just returned from China, and I remember on one of the early trips you made a contribution that bought many pieces of "bread" for those that are starving for that.
Miss you terribly but will see you again.
Your family is a beautiful tribute to you.

I am just getting around to sending you a note of some sort Dewayne, for it has been so hard since you left us and the changes that have taken place have been quite..for lack of a better word..awkward... No one could ever, ever, take the place of you and what you could do at that piano, nor would they want to. Yet knowing that someone needed to step into that position, somehow, Chuck was the one.. I know it was not by coincidence, for God has His hands on everything and when James spoke with...

So thankful to have known someone like you Dwayne. Your God given talent soothed the hearts of many for so many years. I thought of you as a friend and sometimes like a brother, and one day I will be so glad to hear your piano playing once again. Not understanding the reasons of your short life on earth, but for sure we don't understand everything hear on earth, but would be so selfish to ask you to come back to this earth and leave the grandeur of heaven, but someones I think we all get a...

I can't believe its been 4 years already it seems like it was yesterday when i got the worst news of my life. Even thought i still get really upset about it i know someday we'll all get to see him in heaven, and whenever that day comes i know we all will be so happy. I love and miss you so much.

Dwayne……This day will never be forgotten. It will always be the day after Tish’s birthday that we had to say goodbye for now as we know it. I am reminded especially during these days of when Terri and I gave you an “it’s a girl” cigar for celebrating Tish’s birth and you returned that same cigar when Tish and Jamie got married. We have had a “boat load” of friends during our life span, but you were the Captain. We have so, so many memories that allow us to be thankful that we crossed paths...
