Thinking of you Andy, and all the fun we had growing up together. Even though we split, and moved off to Louisiana, first you to Fannett with your parents. We still saw each other on weekends a lot but when we moved to la. You could count the times on both hands that we saw each other after that. But there is something about growing up together that I think bonds people forever. I still have always felt that me and you were best of friends. See you my friend in eternity with all of our friends and loved ones!!! Tell Garrett I love him and show him how to drive off the tee, and maybe he will send you deep on a Hail Mary in the end zones, cause he can throw like his old man can!!! Ill see y'all in the 4th quarter!!!!!

When I got the phone call from Scott Friday moring I was excited at first I thought he was calling to tell me he was in town and was coming to visit us. Never in a million years Jill did I expect for Scott to tell me that Andy had passed away. My heart and my knees grew weak.I couldn't believe that one of my dearest and best friend was gone. Guilt came over me because it had been so long sense I saw or talked to Andy. I remember the last time I saw y'all was at Marks house. I remember boxing and wrestling with Andy, of course all in fun and him laughing only like Andy could. Andy always had that big grin some said it was a smirk and laughed at everything I said. If I was a comedian Andy would be my biggest fan, he seemed to laugh and grin at everything. I could go on forever with the memory's I have growing up on the same street, just about ten houses down on Woodrow drive in Port Authur Texas. We played ball from sun up to sun down, the kids today wouldn't believe what we did back then on Woodrow drive. You can't even get kids today to go outside and play, where back in the day you couldn't get us to come inside. Jill I know the pain and loss of losing a love one, as you know we lost our son Garrett almost five years ago, the pain and sadness still has a grip on me and Kara. I'm just now able to talk about it after years of crying and being angry at everybody and every thing including my family and God. Even to the point of being fired and losing my job. I guess what I'm trying to say is try and be strong in your faith, and trust God to heal you, for he will if you let him. I know it won't be easy. For you lost a great husband, and I lost a great friend, but lets both try not to forget that through Christ we can do all things!!! I am truly going to miss you Andy!!! Kyle Worthington
