Doug I wanted to let you know that being at Andrew's memorial service was very special. I have known you and Ingrid, but did not get the chance to meet Andrew. I feel like I got to know him yesterday. The picture of Andrew working under the Quad when he was little will forever be burnt in my heart. When I left the memorial, I went to my 2 year old grandson's birthday party. They live on acreage and all of the kids were riding quads and dirt bikes. I took a piece of Andrew with me as I watched. Thank you so much for sharing such a private part of your life with us. He was a beautiful boy. You and Ingrid are in our, thoughts and prayers.

My dear brother & family
words cannot express just how sorry
I am that this tragedy had to happen
to Andrew. I loved him so much as I do
you. I can feel your pain and anguish
as I sit here looking at him and wish
with all my heart it wasn't true.
I just got his 21st birthday picture and will be with you holding a candle
as you lay to rest your wonderful son.
I will never forget babysitting him and
have a lovely picture of him and Robyn splashing about in our little pool.
I will never forget his lovely smile and brown eyes that lit up the sky.
May the angels surround you with love
and comfort in your time of need.

I'LL NEVER FORGET YOU ANDREW.

Blessings be with you dear brother and the rest of my family.

Love from your Aunt Linda & Jason
