Tom & Helen: Barbara Walters once said, "I really do believe that the most important thing is the way you live your life on earth. But I think it's enormously comforting to believe that you're going to see your loved ones again." It is clear that Andy, in his short life, impacted the lives of many people, and filled them with stories of shared joy, laughter, love and remarkable friendships. I believe he will bring that amazing spirit on his journey, and that you will laugh together again in Heaven some day. Hoping your memories, and today's lovely tributes will bring you some peace in the coming days.
