I had a dream, you said to grab all of the change, and hand it to your Dad, and tell him he was right. I have no clue what it means, but never had the courage to tell him. You are missed and loved.

To andys parent s I'm sorry for your loss and the past it's not easy losing a child personally I know it's been hard for my parents Ashley Dawn Vaden my twin sister died 4/19/208 a year after Andy and it's hard their isn't a day that goes by I don't think about her or Andy or Dustin seems like the most care free happiest people get taken so young but I know andys always popping in like he did when he was here he ll always be here just know everytime you shed a tear or think of him that he's right beside you probably evening hugging you or trying to make you smile it's not easy and there's no amount of time that heals this they say with time it gets better but I'm not so sure about that just know he never really left in spirit xo

Life continues but the pain doesn't ever fade away.
May 31, 2007
You were in my dreams last night. It was like you were really there. But then when I woke up, I realized it was just that, a dream. I was left with the most unsettling feeling. Everyday this month I thought about how your birthday was coming, then it was your birthday, and then your birthday went by. Such a bitter sweet day. Celebrating the day you came into our world 27 years ago, but also remembering that your life like a candle was snuffed out to soon. You leaving this world, the pain will never go away, I am just going to have to get used to the fact that the only time I see you, is in my dreams.

April 30, 2007
Andy, I didn't know how much I love you, till I couldn't tell you. I didn't know how much I miss you, till I couldn't see you. Memories are of no replacement of you. Wish you were here.

Andy Man... I was having lunch today in a Mexican Restaurant and realized that Cinco de Mayo is coming up so I had to tell my friend the story about you and Dustin.... I can still remember it as if it were yesterday. I think you and Dustin were about nine and ten years old when Dustin turned to you at the table and said "What's cinco de Mayo mean?" and you said to him, " I think it means pass the mayonaise please"... You two were a mess together, I hope you are behaving yourselfs now, I can't wait to see you again... pam

To Andy's parents.
We only met Andy a couple of times thru Pam and Mark Franklin. I am sorry for that / because I immediately noted what a fine, personable, respectful young man he was. I truly wish I could take the pain away. But I just know he is in a better place and we will all meet again someday.
Sincerely, Debbie & Tom Hoffman

Andy... Here's to all the times we spent together when we were growing up... and all the times we missed together because of life's ways and happenings... I am happy I saw you the times I did... I will forever remember all the memories... I will always miss you and live with regret that we didn't spend more time together as grown ups.... I will miss you, your smile, your stories... and you being you.
I Love You!
Love your cousin,
Jenny

You are alive in my heart and prayers. Lilia truely misses you and I will continue to keep telling her that is not good to cry for you because you wouldn't want that. You would want the opposite.

To Andy's Parents: My name is Lara Busby(Lilia's little sister). Last fall, I had my homecomeing senior dance at my high school. Not one single boy would take me to the dance and I was left with no one to go with. Yet, I knew someone that I could ask. I begged my sister to ask Andy to take me to the dance. Being a couple years older than everyone else, he said yes and didn't care that he was older than everyone. He came to my rescue! I wasn't consider "popular" nor did the immature girls accept me because I didnt have a boyfriend.That was up unitl they saw your son Andy at my hoemcoming dance escorting me. Everyone found him very attractive. And looking back on it they were all asking me questions about my "hot" date. My point is that Andy made me feel so happy ,and to me I very appreciated that I had the wonderful chance to know such a great guy. I don't know many great men in my life and I can tell you I definately know one, Andy. I will always being praying for you guys. I want you to know never to feel sad becasue Andy would certanily not want that becasue he wanted everyone to feel happy in his presence. His spirit will always be with us all. I will always love him. May God Bless Andy and your family.

To Andy's parents: I want you to know that I had the pleasure of meeting your son through his relationship with my niece Alexis. You need to know that you should be proud of the son that you raised. On the far too few moments that I was in his company he was always very polite. He was intelligent and had a sense of humor mixed with just a touch of sarcasm that I fully appreciated, and he was so very patient and wonderful to Kayla. I send you my truly heartfelt sorrow for your loss, and I hope that the goodness that was evident in your son will be forever present in his all so beautiful son, your grandson Michael. Michael shares Andy's good looks, may he allow you to find some comfort and the recollection of only the good memories of his father. My prayers are for all of you.
