Andy...I am still at a loss for words because of your untimely departing, I love you and know I will see you again someday in the sweet by and by. I never got to tell you how much I appreciated everything you did for my children and grandchildren, we miss you very much. I cant even bring myself to getting the pictures developed from the last trip you took my grandkids on...its too painful for Isaiah, who is still mouring, as we all are. There are people who leave like yourself, and you breathe a sigh of remorse, and wonder why they had to go and leave such a gaping hole...and I'm positive I speak for all of us when I say we all have this kind of hole...you will be missed by many... as we determine to remain Bonelli Strong Cuz!

Every text, from Happy New Year to Happy Birthday, you always remembered to share a greeting. If only there was a way to send a text to heaven. Please find my dad and April. Give them a hug and know that all of us down here miss you. All my love, Jill Alexander
