Jo and Family,

We are so deeply sorry to hear about Andy's passing and please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Andy was a wonderful man and he will be missed by so many people.

"You will lose someone you can't live without, and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn't seal back up. And you come through. It's like having a broken leg that never heals perfectlythat still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp" ~Anne Lamott


With our deepest sympathy and love,
Carson and family

"J-MAN"

SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THE LOSS OF YOUR DAD. YOU ALWAYS TALKED "HIGHLY" OF HIM AND RESPECTED HIM AS A SOLID BUSINEESS MAN. I ENJOYED THE STORIES YOU & JOHN WOULD TELL ABOUT HOW HE WOULD KEEP ALL YOU GUY'S "STEPPING"@ WORK. I ALWAYS ENJOYED THE "SPOT-ON" FAMOUS QUOTE THAT HE USED ON OCCASSION, "THIS PLACE IS NOT A RESORT"!! I COULD ALWAYS RELATE TO THAT GREAT QUOTE. HIS "WORDS OF WISDOM" WERE NOT ONLY PRICELESS, BUT EDUCATIONAL AND "REAL WORLD"!!
MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU ALWAYS.!
