Words seem so inadequate to express the feelings in our heart at a time like this. Pastor Andy was so warm-hearted and caring. These qualities evidenced his deep and abiding faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. He will be missed by all who were touched by his life and ministry. Our prayers are with Ina, Jim, Janet, Mahlon and the rest of the family of God in these days. And we look forward to that day, "When we all get to heaven" for we will be with our Christ forever.

With love, in Christ,
