Frankie and family,
I am so very saddened by your loss and only learned of Andy's passing today when I spoke to your Mom, Frankie. Please know that our prayers and thoughts are with you at this time. I remember my own parents (Jim and Joanne Clark) saying it is so unnatural to bury a child when we lost my brother David in 1970. I am so very sorry.

Everyone knew Andy somehow and it has impacted us all. Even the new students who didn't know Andy were affected. Nothing can describe how the student body feels but now we are ready to keep Andy's name strong and not a single hour has gone by when I don't think of him. I didn't know him much but he was in my Spanish class last year and he made it so fun and enjoyable. My friends and I will keep Andy and his family in our prayers. I will never forget him.

We are so sorry for your loss of your son, Andy. We can't think of anything quite so sad as losing your child. Only you and the unfortunate people who have, also, had that experience know how badly it hurts. May you find comfort in knowing that so many care.
Sincerely,

To the family of Andrew Tice,

I was saddened to here of your son's sudden death. Thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathy go out to you and your entire family. I had heard of his illness through the Rickenbacher family while they were spending time with a family member at Hardin Memorial Hospital. I can only imagine what you have been going through. I too, had a son who experienced a cerebral hemmorhage at the age of fourteen, fortunately he survived and has grown to be a healthy young man. No one knows what tomorrow will bring, so we try to live everyday to its fullest. I'm sure the love and support of your family and friends, as well as, wonderful memories will give you strength through this very difficult time. Great-grandpa Bidwell will be keeping a close watch over one of heaven's newest angel.

Sincerely, Darlene S. Bates

Dear Dr. Tice and Family,

I am so very sorry. A friend of mine said it best, "There is no word in the English language to describe the loss of a child". If you lose a spouse you are a widow, your parents you are an orphan; nothing to describe the great loss of a child. Please know that so many are holding thoughts of your family close in prayer at this time. I hope these written words will eventually give some comfort to your great sadness.

Andy was a wonderful person. He could always make anyone feel better when they were sad. I wish I could have gotten to know him better than I did. He will always have a special place in our hearts. Deepest sympathy to the Tice family, you will be in our thoughts and prayers always

Jana,Frank and Frankie,
Your loss is overwhelming to myself and all who knows you and your family. May comfort come from the Lord our God and his son Jesus. My 7 year old grandson who attends St Agatha came home from school on Thurs and told his Mommy that he had bad news and good news. The bad news was that Andy had died the good news was he was in heaven with Jesus. Out of the mouth of babe's. This statment is not very comforting now but hopefully in the future you will understand that in such a short time (13 yrs) Andy touched many lives and he will not be forgotten. Tom and I will plant a tree in our yard in memory of your little treasure. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Andy was in my grade at Jones Middle School. When he died on Thursday, I remember almost all of the girls bawling their eyes out. i felt so bad that i had only let one or two tears come through my eyes. I remember that on Friday, in the gym locker room, it was the quietest it ever was. On Thursday at lunch over half of the eighth graders were gone. They had all gone home. I still feel so encredibly bad that i have not cried once since he passed away. He always used to make everyone laugh. If not by his jokes and behavior, then by his laugh. The eighth graders at Jones Middle School have suggested ideas by which we can always remember Andy Tice. Ms. Pettus, our principal has agreed to most of them.
I hope that everyone keeps the Tice family in their thoughts and prayers.

Andrew must have been a special person. I never met him but my grandson, Alex Cottingham, spoke passionately about someone who brightened the day of everyone Andrew touched. That is a considerable legacy very few people leave.
