Mr. and Mrs. Bond,

Scott and I would like to express our deepest sympathy to all of your family during this most difficult time. Scott played Little League with Andrew and even though we were never on the same team, it was obvious Andrew loved the game! Even though Andrew was not in my third grade class at Barrington Place I remember him and just wanted you to know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Mr. & Mrs. Bond- I was deeply saddened to hear about the loss of Andrew. I was his third grade teacher. He was in the first class I ever taught and he was one of those students that always has and will continue to hold a special place in my heart. Words cannot express how sorry I am for the loss you are experiencing. I wish there was something I could say to make ease your pain. Andrew was a lovely child. My thoughts, heart and prayers are with you!

My heart goes out to you both, James and Carol, for the loss of your son. Andrew and my daughter Kayla grew up together and were best friends beginning at kindergarten and up. They were best friends for many many years, you almost couldn't keep them apart, during school or after. Andrew left us so many fond memories he will never be forgotten. May God give you peace during this most difficult time in your life. God Bless, Joe and Darlene Harper, your neighbors from Barrington Place.

To The Family of Andrew Bond - I am just a frequent viewer of the orbituary and even though you do not know me I still would like to extend my condolences to you. I am the mother to a 17 and 4 year old and it is always very close to my heart when I hear of or read about a family losing any loved one but a child so young. May God bless you and keep you all.

To my family,
Let us remember that we do not have to be in the same room to be together. We have family all over, and we would like nothing better than to be there with you at this deeply sad moment in our family history. In this time, let us remember Andrew and all of the great memories that we share with him. He is sweet, kind, and loved by so many friends and family. He is in a better place, free of pain and cruelty.

Goodbye Andrew, we will miss you everyday. In the coming days I hope that we can celebrate your life and love. May you rest in peace and with the ones you love. I ask that you take care of Mamaw for all of us.

Until we meet again, Love
Nikki, Jayson, Melanie, and Eli Pine
