Andy was an incredible student, friend and confidant. I think of him as I walk the streets he used to get to class and the hallway of the residence he lived it. I just wish he was here walking beside me. He is greatly missed.

Dear Monica, Bob and Family

I am so very sorry to hear about Andrew, and I wanted to offer my deepest and most heartfelt condolences to you and to your family.

It is so hard to find words to provide comfort in the face of such a profound loss, other than to know you have our complete love and support. I know that all of us will remember Andrew as a gentle and kind spirit who did his best to face down the struggles he dealt with every day.

I am so sorry that you and your family must face this now , but perhaps you can take some comfort in the fact that you always did your very best for him , as you do for all of your children . I am certain that Andrew will be remembered by those who knew him and cared about him and loved him , as an honorable and courageous young man who was a loving son, brother, nephew and grandson. Andrew's life has impacted and touched all of us and we will think of him always as a wonderful son to his parents and the kind-hearted big brother to his siblings, who's life, while too short, was nonetheless beautiful and worthwhile and filled with the love and goodness that he gave and received from his precious family and many fronded and admirers .

My love and condolences to you Monica and Bob and Joyce, Matthew and Justin.

Love always
Timothy
