Dear Darlene,
So sorry about the loss of Andy. He was a terrific guy. May God continue to be with you during this time. Although I haven't seen or talked with Andy in a long time, he was always in my thougts. He was fun to have as a coworker and supervisor at Duquesne Light Co and he will never be forgotten.
Blessings to you and his family!

To my sister Darlene,
You had a good life with Andy and a wonderful 30 year marriage. You stood tall for the past 15 years taking care of him. When Billy Joel sang the hit song only the good die young he must have been talking about Andy, He was the nicest man you could have ever met. I love you very much and will always remember how happy you and Andy were. When you are up to traveling please come stay with me and Brenda in Swannanoa NC. I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH AND WILL ALWAYS KEEP ANDY IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS,
LOVE,
YOUR BROTHER DENNIS AND BRENDA

Dear Darlene, although I did not Andy, I know he had the most devoted, loving wife by his side when he needed it most. No one in his life gave him the love and care you did. Find peace in recognizing that. Find peace in knowing he will not suffer another day. You have already proven how strong you are by the responsibility you willingly assumed for Andy. You feel beaten now, but you will be ok. My heart knows your grief and emptiness, and I am so sorry for them. (((a big warm hug)))
