Oh dear Andy... I miss you. I don´t really remember the world without you in it. I suppose my favorite memory of you will always be the times when we were in first grade and you would call me long distance on the phone all the way from Rogers and we would talk and talk. It was a glorious time and then we got in trouble for running a huge phone bills!! So we didn´t get to really talk anymore until Orchestra in junior high and high school. I´m thankful for Facebook and for how I found you again after all those years and I´ll think of you every time I hear Linda Ronstadt or the Indigo Girls and to John and Lori and Heather, Donna and all others who held you dear I am praying for you.. for all of us. Until we are all together again... save me a seat in heaven´s orchestra... second violins... way in the back.. by the Basses... I´ll meet you there!

I knew Andrew as Andy, and I knew him from sixth or seventh grade orchestra when he played upright bass. My sincere sympathy for his family and friends. May Drew rest in peace.
