I remember when I used to help my Mom baby sit Andrew. I was only in preschool, and he was two, but I'd sit with him while he watched kid songs over and over and give him animal crackers.

I'm Jim and Holly's niece and I'm staying with them for a while since I'm on winter break.

We would just like to thank everyone who has (and will) leave all the caring words, it means a lot to us, and I know it means just as much to Andrew. He will be deeply missed.

Andrew was one of my best friends. I could tell him anything and trust him. He was always planning for the future and looking ahead. His attitude was far more positive than anyone else I know. I hope you all got the tree we dedicated to Andrew for your yard. My family misses Andrew and we pray for him

Andrew, I can't believe that this happened. All throughout school you were always the happiest and nicest. When we had English together, I could always count on seeing you laughing or smiling. I can't believe that you're gone. Your family has my deepest sympathies.

Andy was an amazing young man.My friend, my inspiration, always had a smile on his face. Nothing could diminish his happiness. Andy would always come into class expressing his hopes of going to prom with me, and driving me to dinner, "anything he wanted" said mom. I will miss him very much. He was one of my best friends. My deepest sympathy to the family.

Andrew was the sweetest person I have ever met in my
entire life. He was friendly to everyone, and never judged
anyone. Andrew was my friend; my inspiration in Food

his salad dressing, and his comforting
laugh. i love you Andrew, and I miss you. Love always, Stephanie

Please know you are not, there are many who journey with you and we are here if you ever need. During this time hold each other close and we will hold you in our prayers.
