I don't know how I will do life without you, my love. For the last 18 years, it's been you and me against the world. For half of my existence I have loved you more deeply than any woman has ever loved a man and you loved me just as much. I couldn't have asked for a better father to our daughter either. We both miss you so very much and always will. I didn't know the human heart could break this much and still keep beating, especially when half of it is gone now. I will love you until my last breath. The love we shared was unique and real and the kind that doesn't happen twice in one lifetime. We always said that we were created to find one another and that we were the definition of soulmates. Most days I can't even believe you're gone. I see all of your stuff around the house and wait for you to walk around the corner. I don't think I'll ever recover from this loss. You were my everything. I'm just glad I got to be the one caring for you in your final days instead of strangers in a hospital and that you passed peacefully in our home. I'm glad you're no longer suffering, but I miss you so very much. I just hope that somehow you're still with me and our daughter and that someday we will be reunited. My heart will continue to break every single day until that time comes. I love you so so much, babe. "Forever and always" as we always said.

My heart goes out to Megan, Peyton and the Weimorts clan. Andy was the life of every party, his thirst for adventure and his kind nature made for a stead fast friend. I will miss him and i hope that facing down this illness didn't diminish his spirt. I like to picture him laughing at me for writing this but I am grateful that I knew him and I am sadened that he is gone. Thank you Andy for bringing so much chaos and joy to my life. Andy was my friend.

Over 20 years ago, Andy was the center of a rambunctious but pretty easy going friend group, a few members of which could be found hanging out in the Happy Room on any given day. The Happy Room was a simple 8x8 cinder block utility room on the back side of his mother's house, and was aptly named the Happy Room because years before, his mother had hung a kitschy decoration on the door that said "Happy ...." the other part of the phrase had broken off long ago and the word "happy" remained. Andy's gang of friends jokingly labeled the hang out, the Happy Room and it stuck. About a dozen teenagers regularly met there and formed close friendships in those short high school years. A fair share of the kids had quite a few issues to work out and although emotions could run high and tempers might have flared while gossip was spread thick, Andy was the rock that kept them all happy, laughing, and coming back day after day. The Happy Room was a safe place where these kids could escape the pressures of their family lives, school pressures, and just the insanity that comes from being a teenage human coming of age in the 90s. Andy's Happy Room was a place to freely fumble their way through friendships and relationships outside of the family home. Under these conditions of teenage hormones, emotions, and very few rules, the group could have dissolved into chaos rather quickly, but Andy, along with his brother Paul, held it together with their non-judgemental approach to accepting everyone and calling out people's faults in a funny, light-hearted way.
I found out earlier today that he passed and although I haven't seen him in over 20 years, I was saddened for the loss of such a genuinely all around good guy. I wish I hadn't taken him for granted, but I'm glad he let me hang out in the Happy Room all those times that I did, because looking back, that was my safe space and he was a very safe person.
