Hey babe! Wow, a month? And I can honestly say that I have thought about you each and every day of that month. I still cant believe that my papa is gone! Mamacita misses you sooooo much!! So I got back all of the pics from New Years Eve! Omg I wish you could see these! They are so cute! I have a couple of them on Myspace. Life is going pretty well for me right now, I cant say that I have any regrets! Maybe a couple but shhh!! lol :) Wow, I never thought something like this would be so hard but every day I think about you and what might have been if you were still here with all of us. I know your looking down on all of us and watching over us, but that doesnt seem like enough. We all just want you back home, safe and sound where you belong! I havent been out to visit you lately and Im so sorry. I want to just lay there with you forever and think about all the good times we had. Matt and I were talking the other day about when we all went to Valentinos on Senior Skip Day and then I locked my keys in my car!!! I was such a dork! Ooops! But of course, Andy to the rescue! Not only did you take me to my house, didnt you crawl in my window?? Awe! I miss you so much babe! Well Im going to get going. I will be out to see you soon! I love you babe!! Always and Forever...... Amber McFee

Andy,

Where do I even begin. It's already been a month. Time just flies. I can't believe that you have been gone for a month now. It doesn't seem like that at all. I think about you everyday. It has really made me stop and realize how precious life really is. It was hard for me to go to your grave, but after I visited you I felt alot better. I think about you alot and miss you tons. I will see you again someday.

Much Love,

Taylor

Hey there big guy,

I wrote in here this week but I feel like I need to talk some more.This sunday is coming really fast,its hard to believe its almost been a month.Me and my dad were talking about you yesterday.About how when we were at your graduation party you were so happy and so excited to be out of school.I never thought that someone who I thought would be around for a really long time was gone so fast.You were such a good brother to Tony,Kimber,and Jenny not only them but all the underclassman that you befriended during your highschool years.Most of all I want to thank you,you taught me so much about life, not only just to live it to the fullest but to except everyone and everything.I met Lauren she is really sweet.I know she misses you a lot.I know you are always looking down on me and your family and friends.I really miss you Andy.When i went over to see your family the monday after you died me and Miranda just sat and talked about when we went to the cabin,or new years eve,or my favorite when we would just hang out and talk.I know I will see you again someday but until then keep watch over us all.No matter what you will always be in my heart and mind.I know everyone misses you.Well I gotta go.I will talk to you later.

All my love,

Hannah

Hey lubbo,

wow andy... i have tried so hard not to come back to this... i miss you so much! there hasnt been a day that i dont think about you! you are always on my mind... exactly 4 months ago today you were there for me... i will never forget the way you held me in your arms and told me that everything was going to be okay... never in a million years did i think that i would lose you to so fast. every memory comes to my mind everytime your name is broughten up! oo i miss you so much! you mean everything to me still and you always will.... heres some memories just for you...

when we used to go to your cabin, and we played truth or dare...

when we got married when we were just little brats and how you would divorce me because you were still in love with me,

when you used to come over to my house and my step sister and my sister, eddy and spencer we would play spin the bottle then my dad came home and you were freaking out!

how everyday after school for awhile we would hang out and just talk about things,

how if another boy came into my life you would tell them that they better not hurt me or else.

so many memories come to me, so many will stay with me... i just wish there was going to be more to come... i miss you so much baby!!! there is so much i want to talk to you about and get your feedback! I love you so much and you will always be a part of my life!

p.s.~ in 2 months... a tattoo is going to happen with a star and your name in it! member when i used to say i would never get a tattoo?? haha.. yeah now i am.. <3 you!!!!

Dear Lubbens,

Your lost is something that no family should ever have to experience. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers. I enjoyed watching Andy grow up, he always had so much energy at Kahoa.

Jenny you did a wonderful job sharing about your brother at the funeral, that is something most young people wouldn't be able to do. LaRissa wanted to be there and sends you her prayers.

May God wrap his loving arms around each of you.

Andy,

Hey Sweety! Man I miss you so much. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you. It has been two weeks now and it kills me to know and remember that day that I found out. I went to go see you today! Man I had so much to say to you! I got it all out that I wanted to tell you at that time. I saw Tammy and her son and daughter there. We sat there and had a good laugh remembering all the times with you. I went over to Amber, Allen, and mom's house on Friday. I hoped that Amber would have been there but Bev said that she was gone. I wanted to give her a big hug and remind her of the time when you were on her couch and Amber and me were waxing your eyebrows! We had so much fun with that! Allen, Matt, and Brian laughed because you actually let me and Amber do that to you. I know that she misses you so much because you guys were almost always together hanging out. Everyone here misses you so much. I call your family every week to see how they are doing and I tell them that I am thinking of them and that I love them. I love you so much and I will never forget you baby.

Love you always,

~Lauren Mehl~

Wow! After reading these entries, there is no doubt Andy has left a special place in many, many hearts and lives. I am a distant relative (Marjorie Epley's oldest daughter) and did not know Andy personally, but I know his Grandpa and Grandma and other relatives. I can only say how terrible this news was and that you are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Andy,

Hey hun! I miss you so much. Today is Valentines Day and I don't even know what to do without you anymore. You were the best thing that had ever happened to me! You always knew what to say and what to do. All your friends and family is missing you so much and I am sure that you see that. I know that you are looking down on us all now and you are here by our sides. I have so many great memories of us together and I will never forget those. That one time over at Amber's was so funny when it was me and Amber talking about how we were going to wax your eyebrows and you let us! Me and Amber had a great laugh. I can't believe that you let us do that and you didn't even really flinch. When I told your sisters Jenny and Kimber they were like, "What! Let me see!" They both started to laugh! It was different but it looked good. It took you like a week to get used to it. I am missing you so much. I talk to you every night and I know that you know that. I love you so much that words cannot explain it. I will talk to you soon.

Love you always,

~Lauren~

P.S. Happy Valentines Day babe!

Hey my big teddy bear, im going to miss you so much. All those times we went out for a short period of time. You know what I've been thinking we went out almost every school year since freshmen year off and on! Those were probley the greatest times of my life bc you always could put a smile on my face and you knew what to say all the time! I still rember one night my freshmen year, the night that you and me first went out and me and Jenny were always fighting over you bc we both wanted to go out with you and you picked me. That was one weird night. Im going to miss so much!

You could put a smile on anybodys face! You will always be in my heart and be my first love. We had some great times together I'm going to miss that sooo much. I Love You A Bunch and I will never ever forget you! Love ya, Jessica (UR SHORTY!!)

I was so sad to hear about your death. I didn't know you personally and it was still so sad. I was very good friends with Kimber and so it brought pain to me to know that her and the rest of your family are struggling from sadness of your death. I know you are in a better place now and I am sure you were a great person I am just sad I didn't get to know you. I love you so much Kimber and I just want you to know I am here for you whenever you need somebody to lean on!!

We had some good times together. I'm never gonna forget you man. You were an awesome friend and I wish I could've had the chance to tell you goodbye. I'm so sorry.

Andy's family-

You raised a son who touched the lives of so many people and all my prayers are with you. I'm sorry I wasn't able to meet you but I'm sure we'll see each other soon. God bless

Andy's friends-

I know it'll be tough to go on without such a great friend, but maybe the memories of his big smile can help us sleep a little easier. He'll be with us in our hearts.

Goodbye Andy

Andy:

You always knew how to make people smile. You were loved very, very much. I always loved it when you would call me mom. I will never forget the day at the lake and we took you tubing, and ripped your shorts.

Camping will never be the same. and to think you said we couldn't knock you off the tube.

Love you lots

Andy was a polite, friendly and wonderful person. He was always there to help volunteer to raise money for the Northeast football program. We could always count on him for any help. If I ever needed help carrying things or just to open the door with a handful of stuff, he was there to lend a helping hand. I enjoyed getting to know him over the past 4 years. I had recently spoke to him at a grocery store, we talked about what he was doing and what he was planning for the future. He wanted to go to college and play sports. I wish his plans would of come true for him. He deserved it. I miss seeing him around, always saying "Hi" and talking for awhile. He will always hold a special place in our hearts. We will miss him dearly.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Jeff and Lori and family.

Jeff, Lori and family,

We are saddened by your tragic loss of Andy. Being a distant relative (4th cousin) and not knowing Andy personally, I read through all the guestbook entries. Sounds like he was a great young man and I know that he will be missed terribly. He has left many with memories that will bring tears but also smiles and laughter. Which from reading other entries sounds like he was good at making people smile and laugh. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the whole Lubben family.

Andy,

There was so many times ever since our last day at Mickle that I wanted to call you to just say "hi" and to tell that hadn't forgotten you. I just couldn’t get up the nerve to call. And now that you are gone, I regret it. I wish I would have gotten to know you better, I was just to shy. I remember in sixth grade we were in art class I received a note from you. I found that note yesterday, I forgotten I kept it and now I am glad I did.

When I heard about your death I couldn't believe. And I guess I'm still in shock. I regret not knowing you throughout high school (because I went to East). But, I never forgot about you. Thanks for being you. Even though you might not know it you left an impact on my life. I will miss you, and thank you for everything.

To Andy's family:

I am deeply sorry for your loss. I didn't know Andy throughout high school but I knew him in elementary school and middle school. I can't ever losing a member of family. You will constantly be in my prayers and thoughts.

Andy~

I don't even know where to begin... The week has been so crazy! Constantly asking myself why...just..why! How could God possibly do this..take such an amazing person from us! Remember all the calls you'd get in the middle of the night waking you up...just because I couldn't sleep and figured you'd at least halfway talk to me while I rambled about nothing? Some of the best conversations I ever had...no interuptions! lol The stops I'd made at Russ's just to talk to you...interesting talks to say the least.. Pretty sure half the time I'd end up almost in tears laughing so hard! Or our baseball talks - man those were the best! Red Sox all the way!!! haha Football games...movies...the FEW card games or board games I EVER managed to talk you into playing because I for some reason felt like playing... God, I'm gonna miss those times soo much! I don't want to accept you're really gone...it doesn't seem real... Everything seems fine one minute, but then I remember...and everything comes crashing down and I just have to get away from it all.. The counselor's office is gonna end up sick of me before long...talking to them...just sitting in there not wanting to go to class and listen to people ask why I've been crying... I miss you hun! I always will! I'll never forget you or any of the awesome times we spent together! Keep an eye on things down here for me would ya - and put a good word in for me with the Old Man up there! Love you!

Andy-

Hey dude!! Thank you so much for all of the great memories that you gave me. I will never forget that one time that we all piled in Lisa's truck and it was me, you, beans and someone else in the back seat and we went cruising. All of the sudden when we stopped on 'O' st. you jumped out of lisa's truck onto the sidewalk and started dancing. That was the funniest thing I had ever seen in my life!!! Then there was that one time on New Year's eve at Lisa's and we just sat on her couch talking forever! Then that one time you came over to my place!! That was flippin awesome!! Thank you so much for everything and being the greatest guy I have EVER MET!!!

To everyone,

I didn't know Andy very well. He was friends with my sister Courtney. I played darts with him a few times he was over. Andy was the kind of guy anyone could get a long with. He was a very cool guy. One thing you have to remember at times like this is they will never be gone, all you have to do is close your eyes and think about them and they will be there. I'm very sorry to his family and his friends. I considered him a friend, but didn't know him as well as some might have. But my heart feels heavy with pain cause Andy is gone on to a better place. He won't have to worry about anything, but looking down on all of us and helping guide us.

Gonna miss you man.

Hey hun! I can't believe that you are really gone. You were such a great person and you always had me smiling! I am so happy that i got the chance to meet you and also get to know you and your wonderful family. People say that you were a big teady bear, they are totally right! You were a big teady bear. I will miss being around you and talking to you. I will miss cuddling with you and those great big hugs you would give me. I love you so much and i know that you know that. If it wasn't for Jesie then i would have never met you. we became very close and we never would argue or fight. You would do anything for a friend. You would go out of your way to do anything for a friend. Yes i will miss ALOT but you left me with nothing but good memories! I thank you for that! I will never forget the time when it was you, me and Matt hanging out and driving around with water balloons. Then all those times when it was just you and me driving around and when a good song came on you would just shrug your sholders and do a little dance when you were driving. Then when i would look at you like you were crazy you would always smile and say "Don't hate!"

Andy, I love you so much that i can't even put it into words for you but when i was with you others could see it in my eyes. I will not say good-bye but i will say that i will see you again! Love ya!

And to Lori, Jeff, Kimber, Tony, and Jenny,

I am so sorry for your loss. You all were get and i loved being around you all. Thank you for everything! If you ever need anything just call. I am here for you all the way because i love all you guys!

With Deepest Sympathy,

Rest in peace baby I love you.

So soon you had to go from all of us. I can't believe it I don't want to believe that your gone it feels like yesterday when I met you and now your gone. We had so much fun during the last 3 years we've known each other I just wish that maybe we could've spent more time together. I miss you so much I wish you were here to help me with everything. I know one thing for sure is that my grandmothers will take care of you they know how much I love you and cared about you. You will always be in my heart I'm always thinking of you and I love you so much. Just like what you said to me a couple weeks ago when I talked to you. I'm gonna miss you so much. To Andy's parents you have my deepest sympathy, I wish andy was still here with you and all of us. Thanx so much andy for being a great friend you were the best ever I'll always remember the times we spent together and I'll always think of you.

To Andy's Family -

I have known Andy since 6th grade, and I can say he was always the class clown and always knew how to make people laugh. I considered Andy a dear friend, however we didn't do well with keeping in touch.

Andy and I had not talked for probably a good 3 years and I ran into him at one of our mutual friends apartments. It was great seeing him that night and talking to him and catching up on what has happened since we graduated.

We did talk a few times after that, and he also came over to my house and hung out one night, about 2 weeks ago.

When I was told about Andy dying, I didn't know how to react, because I had just talked to him no more then 3 nights before his death. I'm still in complete shock about the whole situation.

To Andy's Siblings -

I know how it feels to lose a brother. I lost my brother when i was 5 years old. It's the hardest thing a persons siblings will ever go through, especially when he was one you tended to look up too.

Andy will be greatly missed and loved by all that knew him.

Sincerely,

Jennie B.

Lori and Family,

Until this week, I didn't realize how long it had been since the last time I had talked to you. And then I sat down and realized that the last time I saw the kids was about 10 years ago. I think I was actually still working at Tastee's at the time.

I'm not sure that there are words to completely express the shock and sorrow that I feel for your loss. I still pictured Andy as a little 9 year old boy, and then to hear about this...totally took me back.

I want you to know that you and your entire family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Much Love,

Tim, Dana(Swisher), Bailey,and Kayla Massa

I don't even know how to express what you ment to me. I remember how you Matt and Allen always came over to play darts with me and my family. My mom called you guys her adopted sons and you called her mom. You guys were "My boys". Thats what my family would say. I still remember us trading hats because i wanted your Notre Dame hat and you wanted my Kansas State one. You told me you had to have a T-shirt to match my hat so we went to the mall and I picked you out a that white K-State t-shirt.We had some awesome times together. I miss you so much but I understand your in a better place now. I just don't understand why your not here with us.I know that you were taken for a reason even though I might not know what that is now.You will always remain in my heart.Kisses and Hugs XOXO

Andy's Family:

My prays go out to you every night. I can't even imagin the pain you must be feeling.Kimber told me Tuesday night " you just have to think he is in a better place now". That really helped me get though this these last couple of days. Thank you so much for that. If you need anything at all please just let me know.

My heart goes out to you

Hey hun. Wow, i have so many memories of you and me together. There was three weeks where you and me had spent every day together! I remember when you had asked me out and i said yes! Then i remember the first time that i met your parents!! Your family was so great to me and i felt like i was accepted! Then that night came and you asked me to marry you and i said yes! people thought that we were crazy but we knew that it was right! i have so many memories of when i hung out with you and all your friends. I will always remember that most when it was you, me, and Matt driving around with water balloons! That was so much fun, and we had a great laugh! I will always remember when we were over at Amber and Allan's house and we all got together and me and Amber made supper for you and all our friends. I will miss having you around, being able to hug and kiss you. I will miss having you there to cheer me up when i am down. I am so happy that Jesie introduced me to you. If it wasn't for her i would have never met you and fell in love with you. I love you with all of my heart and will never let you go and those great memories that you left me. I wanted to thank you and also you wonderful family and friends for everything that you and they have done for me. I will not say good-bye, i will just say that i will see you later! I love you always and forever.

My deepest sympathies go out to Andy's friends and family. I did not know Andy very well, but became acquainted with him in just the last few months. I met him through a friend of mine, Lauren Mehl. Andy seemed to be such a caring and genuine person. He had very good manners. Lauren thought so much of Andy and only had great things to say about him. I know that she is sincerely missing him and loved him so much. I wish that I could have gotten to know him better. I had talked to him several times and expected to talk to him again. I hope all of his friends and family find peace in their hearts knowing he is watching down from heaven.

Andy- see you at the crossroads.

With Love and Sympathy,

Wow, this has been an interesting year, hasn't it? I promise I wont let anything bad make me forget all the good times we've had. The times we went out to lunch last year, my birthday party... you were so crazy. All those letters, man I can't even count them. It's going to be hard to be without you, but I guess I will never have to be, because I know you'll go to Heaven and watch over all of us. We need you, you were an amazing friend. Thanks.

Jeff and Lori, Jenny, Kimber and Tony,

We have wonderful memories of Andy from Kindergarten days to the days before he left us. There is nothing but a smile on our lips when we speak of him and a laugh in our heart. You know he will be missed by the many people that knew him for short periods of time as well as ones that grew up with him. The boys shared school days, overnight stays, mischief making, birthday parties, baseball games, and just hanging out and being there for each other. His personality made everyone his friend and his laugh made you laugh with him. Jeff and Lori, You can be proud of the son you raised and how many people loved him. The true test of a persons character is what is said when they are gone. Only good things can be said about Andy. Jenny, Kimber and Tony, your brother would want you to think of the good times you had together and grow closer to each other in his memory. It will be hard but you know Andy would want that for you. May God bring you peace and acceptance.

To Andy's Parents:

I know this is a really hard time for you but just know that our prayers are with you threw these hards times. Also know that Andy will always be with us and he is looking down on everyone right now. You are amazing parents to not only Andy but the rest of his siblings. My prayers are with you. God Bless

"Papa"....

Where do I begin? Ya know, I was talking to a lady from Lincoln Journal Star and she asked me what were some words that described you and I couldnt think of any of the right words. You are more than words can explain. You were one of the most loving guys I have ever met in my life. You were ALWAYS there for me when I needed you. You always knew exactly how to put a smile on my face and you never really cared what others thought of you b/c I think you knew that you were a good person and it didnt matter what one person was like. Rather they were popular or not, you always gave them a chance and I loved that about you. Like others said, you were like a big teddy bear, and you really were. I will never forget how you called me "mamacita". That will live with me forever, as will your heart and soul. No one could ever replace you as being like a big brother to me and also being "Papa". You were one of the most amazing guys in this world and I love you to death. I can honestly say this is one of the hardest things I have had to deal with ever in my life. You were one of my best friends and I'm still not sure how to take all of this. I thought of the whole candle thing we did for you the other night, I hope you were looking down on us and realized how much we are all hurting right now. Im glad you have so many loving friends that came last night. It was amazing to see all those people. Its really because we all love you and miss you so much Andy. I just dont know what to say anymore. I miss all the good times we had. "Truth Or Dare" at the lake!!!! Oh wow, that was one of the best nights! I remember how you loved to dance, anytime of the day, wherever, whenever. And the C-walk was your favorite thing to do. And no matter how many people said it was stupid or you didnt do it right, I thought it was cute how you did it cuz you just had the biggest smile on your face like "Haha, I know I can do it, dont hate" and thats what was so inncredible about you.We had so many good times, its unbelieveable. I know we laughed, cried, and everything else you can imagine, but just know, it was all worth it and I wouldnt take any of it back for the world. Even threw all of that, we still were the best of friends and we always will be no matter what. You will always be in my thoughts and always on my mind. I know you are in a better place now, watching down on all of us. Just being an angel that I know you are. Rest in Peace babe! I love you sooooo much!!! ~*~Amber~*~
