I miss you so very much, Andy.

My dear and sweet Andy. It seems impossible that 5 years have passed since I hugged you, kissed your cheeks, looked into your beautiful hazel eyes and heard your voice say "I love you, mom". Yet, here we are, 5 years later and I'm still breathing. The missing you is excruciating and only seems to compound over time. I would give anything to just hug you and tell you just how very much I love you one more time. I know you're safe, happy and well now. And that was always my most fervent prayer for you. I get through the days knowing that God has you in his care and that you are safe, happy and healthy now. And this year, Grandpa has joined you. I know that you are happy to have Grandpa with you. You loved him so very much. Rest well, my baby boy. I WILL see you again one day when God comes to take me home. With more love that I can express, ~Mom~

2 years ago on this day was the last time I looked into your eyes, hugged you tight and told you in person that I love you. This was also the last day that that you hugged me, held my face in your hands and said "I love you, mom. I'll see you in September". Words cannot describe the depth of emotions that I've experienced since you went to sleep, never to wake up again here on earth. I know you're healthy, happy and full of joy now. I also know that if you had the choice, you would not return to your sad and troubled life. You're free from all of the pain, the hurt, the sadness and the fear. I miss you beyond measure and love you more than words can ever express. Rest well, my sweet baby boy. I will see your precious face again one day soon. I love you, my little Poke-aroo! Forever and ever my baby you'll be. Love, Mom

To the Yoder family,
I knew Andy from school and hadn't spoken in quite some time but he will always hold a very special place in my heart. For all the memories and times we spent together.
Hope you're playing your guitar for a new crowd now.

I will always miss you Andy. I hope the pain will soon go away. I wish I could hear your voice and see your face one more time I would be happy. I will see you soon.
Laura, you should be proud to have a beautiful son like Andy. He meant more to me than either of you knew. I just thought there was more time left. But we never know what the good lord has in store for us. He loved you and told me so all the time. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I thank you for letting me be a part of your family.

Laura, you were so blessed to have such a great son. He meant more to me than you will ever know. He was a sweet passionate person. He and I shared a lot of great times and I have a lot of wonderful memories that will be in my heart forever. I love him and I miss him so much. If I would've only known his life would have been so short and the last time I saw him would be the last, I would have never let him go. My heart breaks for you. My heart is broken. He loved my kids like they were his own and I will always have a place in my heart for him forever.

Dear Laura and Family,

It is with a heavy heart that I write this. I wish I could be there with you guys, but I want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow. It seemed like yesterday we were riding the bus and getting dropped off at your house :) I laughed when I saw the picture of him and I eating cheese puffs and remembered the great times we had and the mischievous times as well. I know there are no words, but I pray you find peace and know that he is in a better place.

My life will forever have a hole in it that can never be filled again in this world. So very, very sad because I will miss you until my dying day yet so happy that your tortured mind and your unhealthy body will be whole and new again. Mommy always told you that if I could fix it, I would. Only God could fix it for you and unfortunately it took taking you away from us to make you well and whole again. I will see you again one day my sweet, funny, kind, compassionate, precious and loving child of mine. You will NEVER be forgotten and will always be in my heart and on my mind. NO ONE loved you as much as I do. A mother's love has no limits or boundaries.I hope you're waiting to meet me when I reach the gates of heaven. Fly on the wings of angels my sweet baby boy. And rest peacefully at the foot of our Lord Jesus. Eternally loving you, Your Mother, Laura
