I knew Andrew casually as a student in the Art Portfolio class at Fort Hayes. On occasion when I stopped in his class I would get a chance to see what he was presently working on as well as his classmates. He was always excited to talk about his work and showed a great deal of passion and talent. His future as an artist can only be imagine now.

Leslie and Vincent,
May the Holy Spirit comfort you during the loss of your son AJ. I pray your strength in the Lord. Although nothing can fill your void, I do know God will carry you when you feel you can't go on. Prayers going up for the family.
Love You Guys! Auntie Katherine and Clyde

As I set in Heaven
and watch you everyday,
I try to let you know with signs I never went away.
I hear you when you're laughing and watch you as you sleep.
I even place my arms around you, to calm you as you weep.
I see you wish the days away, begging to have me home,so I try to send you signs, so you know you are not alone.
Don't feel guilty that you have life that was denied to me, Heaven is truly beautiful, just you wait and see.
So live your life, laugh again, enjoy yourself, be free.
Then I know with every breath you take, You'll be taking one for me ....

The Davis Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all, at the very difficult time.
