Ron & Family,
I'm so very sorry to hear about the loss of Andrew. I know it's been some years since we have seen each other, but please know you are in our prayers. I love you all.

POEM
You have my deepest sympathy, but it really doesn't help. Your grief goes beyond what words can express.

There's nothing anyone can say, and nothing we can do to heal your broken heart or take away your pain.

Let God take you in HIS arms and cover you with His love. He knows the depth of your grief and only He can give you peace. He knows it will take time
for your heart to heal, and your loved one has a place that no one else can fill.

If there's any comfort let it be in this,your loved one is with Jesus,
in a home that's filled with bliss.
There are no tears in Heaven, no more heartache and no pain,only love and happiness for all eternity.

We must go on living and do the best we can, then when Jesus calls our name
we will be with them again.

Ronnie, Zeila, Ron and Family. We just got back in town and I called Ella to see how Andrew was and she told me the sad news. I was so sorry to hear it and wish I cold be there with you at this time. We just came back from visiting Joshua at VMI. He was only a few months older than Andrew. I don't know how we could stand it if we lost him so I can imagine how you must feel. Give my love to everyone. Aunt Vickey, Uncle Dean and family

The Salter Family, I did not get a chance to meet this wonderful man,but from the words of my close friend Melinda and her kids. It breaks all of our hearts,while we are still here on earth suffering he is in heaven fufilling all his dreams and goals never ever having to be sick again. One day we all will have a chance to see Andrew again the way he once was full of life ,love and never ending happiness. I can only think what his parents and loved ones are going through and I am deeply saddened by their loss and our prayers , thoughts and love go out to every member of Andrew's family.Keep close to the ones you love and do what Andrew would have wanted.God Bless, The Childree's
