Nobody should have to endure ongoing pain when there is no hope of recovery, of any livable degree.
Sincere sympathy Carolyne for al you endured with andrew & to all who loved him.

I am saddened by Jim's and your experience Carolyne. I fully support you and know the detail of the trauma from my own recent experience with my Mother. Thinking of you.

A brave death notice of an experience that many share. My condolences to the family for the loss and for the aspects of suffering that both they and Andrew could have been spared.

I didn't know you Andrew but be assured that Dying with Dignity members, like myself, will continue to fight for changes in the legislation. My condolences to you Carolyne.

Andrew was a good fella, he was a lovely chap. He was a great staff member and he will be sadly missed here. Andrew is always in our hearts. Andrew always had me laughing.
Love, Margaret, Paul, Antonella, Graeme and Julie.

here is a life to see
seconds minutes hours to come
precious time we can't hold fast
too soon and it is done
now it is done look at this life
examine it by gentle light
recall the simple pleasures all
recall the well hard fight
stance of a man who knew
his strength his part to play
he found a path and gave it breath
raise high the roof as he walks by
if there's a god he mocks us all
with heaven as reward to none
paradise is friends well met
hell is when they're gone

Another beautiful soul left our lives too early. My thoughts are with you Carolyne. May the memories you shared with Andrew, in your life together, give you comfort at this sad time. Deepest sympathies to you and the family.
How I'll always remember him.

Things seem terribly incomplete now. No-one will ever replace his unique intellect and humour - that space will simply remain. More to the point, I don't want it to ever be otherwise.

Sleep well Andrew - and we will work to make sure that others dont have to endure the final days that you and Carolyne experienced.

We grew up together, and in some ways I think each of us was a compass for the other. Several times every day I encounter a situation and I think 'What would Andy think?' (Not 'What would Andy do') Now there's just emptiness in response. May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest, little buddy.
