To my Dearest Friends and Family (The Poulsens) I have known you Randy since I was a teenager,and have been apart of your life and childrens life for 30 yrs. I was grateful to know Andy when he was a young child. That smile of his would light any room. It is a shame that I didn't have the opportunity to know him as an adult. I will live vicariously through your familys memory of him. I believe he was a wonderful man. I don't know if my prayers or thoughts will help all of you through this rough time. But please know you really are in my thoughts everyday. I know there is nothing I can say that would lessen your pain,but if I could I would take it all away. Randy and Cindy you have been there for me in my time of need,and you'll never know what that has meant to me. I only pray that you will rely on me as your sounding board,a loving friend,or just if you need a good cry, or a great big hug! I Love You Randy,Cindy,Daniel,Whitney May you always reach out to one another, and share your memories,tears and laughter about Andy. God Bless
Love Cheri Schuyler

Dear Whitney and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Andy was a great guy. Although I only knew him for a short time, Whitney always talked about him so much that I felt like I already knew him when I met him. I've seen him many times coming in and out of the office. He would always have a smile on his face when he walked in the door. I'll always remember the time Andy, whitney, my brother Aaron, my neighbor Kai and me all went out ice skating. Whitney and me didn't really feel like going but Andy and Aaron kept on insisting. We ended up going and had SO MUCH FUN. We all shared a lot of laughes that night. I'll always remember him for his most loving heart, positive energy and his bright smile. You all are in my prayers. Andy will be extremely missed.

I was so sorry to hear about Andy, He spend alot of time at my house when he was in junior high. He dated my daughter. I always just loved having him around. What a sweet person he was. His smile was the type that drew everyone in. He was always so respectful and kind. He will truly be missed. Always remember all the great things he did and his smile and not what ended his life. We are truly sorry
for this loss.

Dear Randy and Family:
I was saddened to hear of the loss of your son. I have no words that can ease your pain except that someday we will all be together again somewhere, in a better place. You are in my thoughts.

For those that knew Andy (I didn't have the pleasure of being called one of his closest friends), they would say that he was one of the sweetest and most grateful of all people they know. Andy was very talented and just an amazing person. His shy, boyish demeanor made you want to draw closer to him. I wish I had more of an opportunity to know Andy as a person rather than an aquaintance, but now its too late. I will, however, remember him as I knew him. My deepest, sincere sympathies go out to his family and his best friends.

Randy, Whitney and all of you, that loved and cared for Andy.
This is heart wrenching news and words are beyond measure.
The only comfort at this point is knowing that Andy was greeted by his darling mother Jo Ellen, and she is holding him very tight.
Whitney, she's holding you too! They are both, so close to you, and you must be strong. You and Andy are very special and I am so sorry for the pain you are again faced with.
I am very proud of you Whitney. Please, be your mothers daughter, "so strong-willed and full of love, life and laughter."
Her laughter still echos in my ears. Her smile, I often vision.
Andy grew into a beautiful young man and I know you will miss him deeply. Take comfort that he is totally at peace now and with his mother that loved him so deeply.
Randy, you are so very special too, and my heart is bleeding for you. I love you and I hope my prayers will reach you at this very difficult time. All of you....my prayers to you.

Blessed are You, loving Father,
For all your gifts to us.
Blessed are You for giving us family and friends
To be with us in times of joy and sorrow,
To help us in days of need,
And to rejoice with us in moments of celebration...
Father,
We praise You for Your Son Jesus,
Who knew the happiness of family and friends,
And in the love of Your Holy Spirit.
Blessed are you for ever and ever.

Whitney and Randy,
I am saden to hear about the loss of Andy. Some of my best childhood memories are with Whitney and Andy. Whip, do you ever remember when my mom would take us through the car wash just because Andy was afraid of the "snakes"!? Her car did'nt need cleaning she just like to see the look on Andy's face. Even though its been a few years you guys are always in my thoughts. I hope that your family can find peace in knowing that Andy has gone home to mom.

To Whitney, Debbie & Dave, Andy & Taralah, and the entire Williams family:
You are all in our prayers...Wish we could be there with you to offer our support. We just feel so helpless sitting here.
Andy P. (and Whitney) completed our family, and we were blessed for Andy P. to be a part of our lives. The family will not be the same without him. His smile was like a ray of sunshine, warm & sincere, and he had an awsome personality.
Yes, God truly blessed our family years ago when Andy P. (and Whitney) became a part of our lives. We will never forget him.
We love you all!

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. Andy was a really sweet person, and due to the long distances between us, we didn't get the chance to know him and Whitney as well as Debbie's immediate family knew them, but we do think of you all as part of our family.
