Cannot believe that you have not been in our mortal realm for two years now. Your Mother misses you so very, very much. Her every action on earth is done with you in mind and as a legacy to your life - and boy did you live - good for you. Of course, you do you know about your new little furry "sister?". No one can replace Hootie but the new addition to the family really helps Larry and your Mother on a daily basis. Keep smiling down on your Mother and all of us who love her.

Andy,

You sure must have laughed up a storm yesterday and we here on earth felt the droplets because you were laughing so hard that there were tears. Your Mother put on another one of her FABULOUS FUNNY FASHION SHOWS. What can we say, your Mother outdid herself AGAIN. Andy, you most certainly won the lottery as far as Mother's are concerned. Every thing your Mother does, she does with LOVE and in a big way. Andy you are truly blessed.

Andy,

It is so gratifying to see your Mother being Happy. Dotty had a birthday party for her Mother (Amy Rice) at Regency and for once most of the work was not done by YOUR MOTHER. Thus she had more time to relax, be happy, enjoy the party and relate to the residents. It was a hellofa party. Dotty certainly knows how to fill a room and make them all happy. Your Mother and Dotty make a most awesome team. Andy, I know that you smile down on your Mother every day.....she basks in your love.

Even tho we never met you, your parents are some of the best neighbors and nicest people weve ever known. I would bet with my last dollar that you were just as kind and caring. We'll always do our best to watch over your mom and dad as long as were close. Be well, and Peace be the journey.

Andy,
What can be said about a Mother's love....it is all consuming and ever powerful and EVERLASTING. Went to Regency Palms to share Easter with your Mother and the residents. Again, I was amazed at how your Mother takes care of every little detail for the residents to make sure that their Easter was special. What your Mother does for the residents is only one thousandth of the love that she has showm for you, Andrew, my dear, both you and your Mother are bound together in eternity with the love that only a Mother and Son can share. Keep shining and smiling down on your Mother and Larry.

Aloha!!

You most certainly have been smiling down on your Mother..the bond that the two of you share is unbreakable. Yesterday, was a Hawaiian theme day at Regency Palms complete with a Hawaiian menu in the dining room and a wonderful Hula Revue Show. Boy oh boy, can your Mama shake her hips. Hawaii is definitely in her blood. Keep favoring your Mother with your smiles of gratitude....she embraces them so very much.
Aloha.

Janice,
Your son, Andy, certainly knows how to relay a message from God Almighty. I know for sure that he is with the Lord and he sent a sign that even us mere mortals could not miss. After the balloon release during his Celebration of Life, the sign was big and bold, the POWER went off at Regency Palms. The balloons ascended to the heavens to reach Andy and God said "good job" and let us know hat Andy was in safe hands. Gone but not forgotten.

January 7, 2012

No words I write could ever say
How sad and empty I feel today
The Angels came for you
Much sooner than I planned
I'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And I'll try my best ......... to know you gave your all along the way and your beautiful big brown eyes helped the less fortunate in Africa to see the world through your lens...
Your Aunt Ruth and Don Holloway

Janice Tursi

January 7, 2012

You see me smiling.
What you don't see is that I am screaming behind that smile.
You see me go on with everything....work....taking care of your step father.....life in general.
What you don't see is that it takes every ounce of energy
I have just to breathe.
You see me alone with my thoughts.
What you don't see is me talking to Him
You see me say "I am fine".
What you don't see is the huge hole in my heart that can never be filled.
You see me and think "she's back to normal".
What you don't see is that there is no normal for me anymore.
You see me and think "Oh my God I hope this never happens to me"
What you don't see is that as much as I long for you to
understand me... I hope this never happens to you either.
You see me joking and laughing with others and think she
must be getting over what has happened.
What you don't see is that I can never forget, nor would I want to,
you don't get over the loss of a child.
You see me sad and don't know what to say so you keep going.
What you don't see is all I really want is for you to ask how
I am doing, really, and give me a hug.
You see that life goes on.
What you don't see is that the life I had will
never be the same .
You see that I am strong...... do not be deceived.
What you don't see is that I am weak and weary. Some days "I am 6 feet from the edge".
What you see is a mask....a lie. The mask helps you cope with me
and me cope with myself.
What you don't see is the raw sometimes unbearable pain.
You don't see me being unable to breathe.
What you don't see is my despair. You don't see me screaming to
heaven for God to give my son back.
What you don't see you could never understand anyway unless you
walk a mile in my shoes....
But my dear Andrew your eyes are seeing the beauty of Africa through the eyes you graciously wished to give to those who are blind. I just received a letter today from those recipients and it healed a sorrow from my pain to know what a smart loving and giving man I raised you to be Andrew. May you rest in peace until we meet again.
-Your mother always and forever

Being a Mother to Andrew is something that you excelled at and the proof is in the pudding, as they say. How many people do you actually know that LIVED the life that they always dreamed about...Andrew did and you encouraged and supported him from his first footstep in the sand of Hawaii to his last. Your bond with your son is to be commended and that flame in your heart and sould is Andy saying ALOHA MOM.

I did not have the pleasure of knowing this wonderful man, however I do have the pleasure of working with his mom Janice. If her son is anything like her I'm sure the world was so lucky to have him in our prescence. No parent should ever have to bury their child, and for this unexplainable hurt, I am truly sorry. There is really nothing I can say to make this pain go away. I'm just here to offer a shoulder to cry on and even a heart to listen. Smile for the memories, cry for the end and look forward to meeting again. There is no doubt this was an incredible person and my heart hurts for the loss of him. To the family of Andrew, my heart goes out to you all. May God be at your side and help with your grieving and healing. I'm sorry I can't say more, but I am always here to listen. God bless you all

I have heard as many wonderful stories about you. I know that you were a generous and kind-hearted person. Someone that enjoyed the many wonders of life. Knowing your mother and the stories she told me about you I fell as though I know a lot about you. I know that you had a good life in Hawaii and was very happy there. Your spirit will always be with us.

Eccelesiastes Chp 3 V1-8
To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: a time to be born. and a time to die: a time to plant: and a time to pluck up that that which was planted: a time to kill, and a time to build up:
a time to weep, and a time to laugh: a time to mourn, and a time to dance:
a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together: a time to embrace. and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to get. and a time to lose: a time to keep. and a time to cast away: a time to rend, and a time to sew: a time to keep silence, and a time to speak: a time to love. and a time to hate: a time of war, and a time of peace.

The most special time Regency Palms Assisted Living and Memory Care was able to share with Anedrew was Christmas Day of 2008 when he came as Santa Claus. Our resident and staff were so excited and gifts were given to everyone. I must say the best gift I was given by Andrew was being able to meet his Mom Janice. She has a heart of gold which on that Christmas Day when I met Andrew I could see that his heart is as big as his Moms. I've only spoken to Larry his stepfather on the phone but I considered him a good friend as well. Andrew was a lucky man to have them as his parents. We will all meet again.
