I still to this day remember all of my childhood friends, and of those, you were definitely one of the best. I doubt your family would even remember me, since it has been about 25 years since we met, but I wish you all the best. - Kyle J. Bartoszewicz

Dear my Andrew,
I love you so much. Thank-you for the signs you sent. I found your note soon after I wrote to you. There was no explanation for why it was there and it was in a place I almost never see, but you placed it right where only I would find it. Only you could have put it there, I believe that. A few days later out of nowhere Dad found a beautiful feather. Thank-you. You are so beautiful. Thank-you for being with your family. We love you and miss you so much.

Shining light. Just for you. I keep a light in our room that was turned on the day you died, and I have never turned it off. It glows day and night, for six and a half years now. It will glow, just like you did in my life, always. Forever loving you. Forever missing you. Mom.

It's been almost six and a half years. It feels like yesterday. This pain and emptiness will never go away. There has been a void in my heart since you left me. I never will let you go. You are my boy forever. Your smile and laughter are missed so much. A photo just isn't the same, but it's all I have. What am I to do? I need you back. I need your hugs. I need you to go to lunch with me. I need you to go shopping with me. Nothing is the same without you. You had so many plans, big family dinners, reunions, going to see Grandma and Grandpa, and they will never happen. Andrew, you were full of sunshine from the day you came into this world. Today I cry again. I long to feel your arms around me. I long to hear you come down the stairs and say good morning. I miss you so much. Why did you have to leave? Please give me a sign that you hear me, like you used to do. Those signs are so comforting to me. I get so happy when you let me know you are here. I just love you. "Losing a child, no matter what age makes your heart break in places you never knew existed." "Sometimes we aren't meant to get over someone, we just go on living a little bit emptier." "There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real" Please don't ever leave me. Please be with me every day. I need you so much. Life has never been the same since you left. Forever your mama, Mom

DrewBoo,
I think about you every single day of my life... our memories together stay fresh on my mind from time to time I catch myself looking at those pics Brit took of us getting the fish out of her tank when it broke out of no where..lol.. the 1st night I ever met you. I love you and hope your watching over us all and just know I can't wait to see you. But until then keep me close I miss you!!

Dear Andrew, Dad and I celebrated your 30th birthday. I had an artist make a necklace that has your favorite color stone, light blue, a wing, and a charm that says 30 on it. I miss you so much. I keep thinking about how you would say "Come on Mama, let's go get a margarita" and we would go to that Mexican restaurant. I have the flower you gave me that day in a glass cabinet so I can see it every day. That was so much fun. We had so many special times together, just you and me. I put your 30th birthday necklace with the one you made me and they hang together. I also got a light that stays on night and day and reminds me you are still alive. I hope you are catching lots of fish up there and that you are so happy. I can't wait to see you again. I miss you Andrew. I miss you so much. I miss your wonderful smile and your big, strong hugs. I love you more than I can say. Love, Mama

Dear Andrew,
I don't think a day goes by that I do not think of you. Today my heart is breaking a little more than usual. The world is lucky to have had your shining light in it, if only for a little while. I miss your laugh & love the ability you had to make people smile. I consider myself blessed to call you "my Nephew." I will always Love you my Dear.

Mr. and Mrs. Cargile, where is Andrew buried at as we used to always be around the same friends on the weekends and had good times. He was a great person and I didn't make it to his funeral. I hope you both of you are well and would love to pay my respects to your son.
Sincerely,

Andrew, not a day goes by without your Mom and I thinking of you, and remembering you and loving you and missing you. Sometimes it is with a smile when we see something that we know you would have smiled about. Sometimes it is with a giggle or outright laugh when we remember something funny we shared. Today has been different, a day filled with tears and the sorrow of missing you. It has been four years since you were called home to heaven. I know that is a beautiful, peaceful & joyful home & and I am so very thankful that you are there. It is hard for us here without you but we will see you again and that does bring joy to my heart. Your Mom & I keep you always close to our hearts - loving you now & forever - Dad

Your light always shines in my life. This one is for you. I love you, Mom
February 26, 2015
My precious son,
It has been four years since I last saw your beautiful smile. Four years since I hugged you and kissed you good bye. I miss you more than words can say. I miss going out together when you would say, Hey Mom, let's go for dinner together. We would get in the car and talk about everything and anything. Those times were so special. I miss them so much. You would bring me flowers and I did paintings of them. I have one in my room so I can look at it every day and remember when you gave those flowers to me. I have the cross necklace you made for me hanging up where I can see it at all times. Thank-you for visiting me. I know it was you. I love you Andrew. I miss you. I hold you for every moment of every day in my heart. Love forever, Mom

Hersh- this is a crazy day. My thoughts can't organize or process everything that's happening. You make me happy when I think about you and all that God has done. Im so grateful for you and my constant reminder that God has plans we can't understand. Help me through this season and come visit my dreams. It's always amazing to see your face and hear your laugh. I miss you.

Dear Andrew, It's Thanksgiving Day and I just feel such an emptiness inside. I miss you so much. I put a picture of your headstone on facebook and so many people wrote such wonderful things about it. We baked an apple pie for you and all I could think was you should be here to get it out of the oven and eat it too. It's cold here but I'm sure it's just right in Heaven and you have everything you need there. I love you so much my son. I read an email from you and it broke my heart. I just want you back in my arms. I'll be ok. Just keep visiting me. I love you Andrew.

Andrew,
It's almost been a year since you left us & it's still difficult to write about you knowing I can't see your sparkling eyes or hear your infectious laugh. You were truly one of a kind, my dear & your presence will always be missed. To all the people you got to share your love of God with I pray they too draw close to Him for comfort. I trust you've already found all the cool spots in heaven & you're reminiscing with friends & family that have gone on before you. Save a spot for me on the block!
Missing you…

Andrew, we so miss your smile, your humor, your bear hugs, and your LOVE! We know that you are with God, walking, laughing, and smiling. Not a day goes by that we do not remember you, and wish that you were still walking with us, talking with us, making us smile. We know that you want us to be happy. We try. We love you. We miss you.

Andrew,
Here is a prayer inspired by your life and how it has touched others.
Father,
May the light of Andrew's life never go out.
He touched so many lives, bringing joy, comfort, understanding, friendship, and life.
May all those he touched be as soil for the good seeds he sowed.
May the joy that he brought help to turn someone's darkness to light.
May the comfort he gave make a hard day go away.
May the way that only he seemed to understand, grow as compassion in another's soul.
May the friendship he gave be shared and be passed on and reach out.
May we all remember that our lives were made better from the light in his life.
May the light in Andrew's life never go out.
Amen
Andrew - You are loved, missed, and remembered.

My dear nephew, Andrew, I still can't believe you're gone. You were so precious when you were little, a beautiful boy, mischievous, curious, always smiling. When you got into your teens, from that time forward, no matter what was going on in our family, you were the one who always draped a big strong arm over my shoulders and said, "S'up, Aunt Jan?" YOU never changed as circumstances changed. You were always the steady, upbeat, genuine, GOOD person. So why did we have to lose you? It just doesn't make sense. I think of you every single day and hope that wherever you are, you're at peace. I love you always.

To my dearest Andrew,
I have always held you very close to my heart and my only wish is that I could have been fortunate enough to spend more time with you... You had this incredible ability to lift me up when I was feeling down, to inspire happiness in those around you, and that is one of the many reasons I love you soo much! I adore your smile and your hugs, I believe, are a good reason some call you Drew Bear because they're just that comforting :) There isn't a day that goes by I don't miss you and every time I think about it my heart skips a beat with longing to have you back... What I hope for most now is that you are in a peaceful place and that you always remember those who loved and admired you so much and who always will. You are truly unique Andrew for the positive energy you gave to others, for the kindness & compassion you always shared... I'm so happy to have been able to know you, my life is much happier for it!
All my love Andrew, I'll be thinking of you always...
Very fondly, your cousin Ashley

Hey cuz... as you would say so often :) I miss you and think about you every day. I miss getting your random phone calls, your funny jokes, and your big dreams for me and you. I wish I could see you one more time. You will always be in my heart big cuz. I look forward to the day we meet again, and am no longer fearful that that moment will be lonely. I see you in the sky and the birds that fly high cousin. You are a part of my every day. I love you so much Andrew Cargile.
Love, your lil cuz

Whats going on my good man? Life goes on and so will your goofy jokes. I'll continue to quote your one liners so no one will ever forget your fun loving personality.

You were and still are one of the greatest friends I have ever had. Love You Drew _S Wonder_

I miss you so much and will never forget the Christmas we spent together a couple years back. You and my Dad had the time of your lives. I still have those purses you bought for me that x-mas and you better believe i'm still "rockin" them :-) My family and I will be missing you so much this Christmas and every day to come. My mom wanted me to tell you how much she misses your big bear hugs and your loving personality. I'm just blessed to have as many great memories as I do with you. Everytime I talk about you, some funny story comes up or some little comment you used to always make. Thinking about you and the times we had together just bring a huge smile to my face. I will never forget you and you'll always be the brother I never had. You carry a very special place in my heart that nobody can replace. I wish you were here so badly. I love you so much.

Lanny, Patti, Ross and Scott, I regret very much that we were not able to be there in person, but we are there in spirit loving and holding you up. I love what one of Andrew's friends said on FaceBook, he was REAL, he was always ready with a hug, a shoulder to cry on, AND a true gentleman. And he was! The next time we all get together, there will be a huge gaping hole where Andrew should have been. No parent should ever have to bury a child. Our pain is overwhelming. Yours must be unimaginable. Hold tight to each other and know a circle of light, comfort and love surrounds all of you. Jan, Caryn, Ashlie and Lindsey

You were a great friend, good listener, and always waiting with a hug if someone needed it. You're a great man, now God has you next to him where you were needed. We all love you. Thank you for caring and loving us. You are tremendously missed. Our whole family has prayed for you and your parents and siblings.May God bless your family. i know you knew how we all felt about you but obviously i needed to say it again. We love you and miss you, and always will.
