Andrew & I lost contact over the years but I'm so glad I had the chance to know Andrew. Andrew & I grew up together and we were in the same church youth group. He always made me crack up laughing and we would goof off all the time together, we were good friends. I remember one time Andrew & I were on Malibu Beach in CA. and He ran up behind me and tackled me. My glasses which I needed to see flew off my head and were washed out into the ocean. I was practically blind for the remainder of our trip, but I didn't care because Andrew was my friend and I enjoyed every moment we spent together. Andrew you will be missed by everyone who had the pleasure to know you. Miss You! <3

I have always looked up to andrew as my big cousin. He was always so cool, so smart and truly considerate. He was talented and I wish I could have worked with him as we had talked about. I love drewski, and my aunt uncle and cousin. They all have a very raw beauty about them, and dry humor that probably came from uncle danny. The love in our hearts and memories in our heads will keep drew alive, always. Love you:)

Its been a year, it feels like 5. Norty was a very important person in my life. I wouldn't be who i am today if it weren't for him. I am so grateful to have had such an amazing friend and I'm blessed because he's my angel now. Last night friends and family all got together in honor of his life and it was an incredible time I will never forget. His family is awesome now I see where he gets it =) He was loved by so many and I dont even think he knows the impact he had on us. I've always looked up to Andrew and thought highly of his opinion in many different situations. Now there is something I have to do to have a peace of mind. A song for my angel <3

I was fortunate enough in my life to still have not lost a close relative. Andrew was the closest person that I've lost. I never really knew what grieving was until he was gone. He was an incredible person,artist,friend,brother,and most of all son. People didn't like Andrew they loved him.Everyone. He was that kind of person, a great person. Also VERY smart.I often find myself thinking what would Andrew do in this situation. I'm glad that his music will be played tonight for all of his friends and family and whoever else attend(thanks for helping me make that happen Stephanie). He will always live through his music and have a positive effect on people via music. We all love and miss you Andrew You will be remembered an honored for the great person/artist you were tonight. And forever

Norty,

What can I possibly say. We became brothers during those couple of years and it will never be the same without you. Hearing your voice on our songs brings back so many good memories of making music in your room. We put in so much hard work and shared so many joys when our songs came out perfect. I will carry those memories with me forever... RIP norty

All that music is going to go to real good use. Me and Sal are gonna kill it man, make you real proud. You always made me want to tighten my game and step it up. Make it better, make it fresher. I'd be a different MC if it wasn't for this d...ude right here, and that's real talk. RIP brother. Take it back!

Hey Drew,
Sorry it took so long to write, but theres not a day that goes by we don't think of you. I never got a chance to meet all your friends until recently. The ones I did meet were good people and cared about you alot. I guess once anyone gets to know you, they realize what a great person you are, as well as good for a laugh or three. We had some good times from snowboarding in Vermont (when you really saved my life) to hanging out in Vegas. Well so long for now.......

Tara (Norton) Soto

To my beautiful cousin Andrew:
I love you. I regret not having seen you in awhile. I will cherish the good memories I have of babysitting you and Steph. You were a great kid, (although you did not want to go to bed at night). I still can't grasp the fact that you are not here. My prayers to my Uncle and Aunt and cousin Steph. May Andrew's good memories bring us comfort.
I will always love you Andrew.

Kim, Danny & Stephanie,

I wish there was something that I could say to make all your pain go away, but all I can do is tell you how much it meant to me to know Andrew. I may not have known the adult Andrew, but I remember the little blonde headed boy, who would play outside with us every night till it was time to go in, the boy who would love to go swimming in my papa's pool with us, even when it was freezen cold out and our lips were blue. I remember all the nights I would sleep over and Andrew always wanted to be with me and Stephanie and do what we were doing. Andrew will always be in my heart, my mind and prays. The four for you are part of my family and will forever be.
All my love.

To all of you

I remember not wanting to look at this site, but I was always drawn to it. find peace that people care to take the time to write to you or even write to Andrew. It all seems unfair that we have out lived our sons, for whatever reason God might have. I still haven't understood it. Probably never will. Hold onto your faimly and friends. I hope that there is some reason God needed our sons, maybe someday we will no that answer. Andrew was special and maybe for a reason we will never understand god needed him more then us. Thats what keeps me going. I can't say it gets any easier because it does
not. I pray that my son Rich was there to hold his hand into heaven. You will also be in my prays.
Love to you all
Doreen Mulloy (Richie mom forever)
