I believe that God gives us special blessings in this world as signs that point us to what is truly important; so visible in the unconditional love of a child that is so loved by his mother and father. Jean and Kevin, I can not begin to understand the loss you feel but know, by your example and steadfast faith, no child could have been more loved. The two of you now go onward with Patrick, Lucy and Grace knowing that Andrew watches over you and that your children are forever blessed to have witnessed the overwhelming gift of their brother.
As always, my prayers remain with you. Fr. John Reynolds

While I only met Andrew a few times over the years, I was struck by his bright, vibrant and playful nature. I recall he made the best of his horrific circumstances. Kevin and Jean, you have my deepest condolences.
