Bill, Erin and Ian,
I just heard about your loss of Andrew. My heart achs for you. I have many fond memories of Andrew. I remember the first time I saw him. You had just moved in, I was in the kitchen and something caught my eye. I looked at the kitchen sliding door and there was little Andrew with his nosed pressed against the glass. Seemed like I just turned around and he was playing pool down in my basement with his friends. He was a delight to have around. I shall cherish the memories I have of him.
With love, Jelane
