Just wanted you to know that we love you all and we're saying prayers for comfort and strength for you. I have a picture in my mind as Andy was walking by me and he spoke to me and smiled as he walked by my chair as he was leaving church a few Sundays ago. That's my memory and that will always come to mind as I remember Andy. Your friends always...
