Dearest Angie,

I offer you my deepest and most sincere sympathy and prayers. I still recall when you started your career at Crowe, you had the attention of many potential suitors, but it was Andy who won your heart. After getting to know you better, it was clear how you became a couple, you both possessed kind, gentle, and sweet spirits, kindred spirits. It was a pleasure to see you two dating, getting married, having a family. Sweet memories, never to fade or be tarnished. Yours to keep until you see each other again.

It was such an honor to work with Andy, the unique combination of qualities he had, love of family and friends, life, compassion, kindness, all of the fruits of the spirit, combined to make him a truly remarkable person. It is because of the person he was, that his memory will live for generations to come.
It is my prayer that these are the memories that sustain you, keep you safe and strong during this time of loss and that God holds you close to his heart and brings you comfort and peace.

God Speed Andy!

Teresa
