Dear Mr. and Mrs. Camarata,
I was very shocked & saddened to read that Andy had passed away on December 12th. I met Andy in the fall of 2008 and we connected on several fronts including working in IT and sharing an appreciation for the arts. When I asked if he came from an artistic family, he showed me the model sailboat that you, his father, had made for him. He was so proud of it. I think it was his most valuable possession. I am so, so very sorry for your loss.

Dear Mr. and Mrs Camarata,
I am writing to let you know how sad I was to learn that Andrew passed away. I am still struggling to accept that we have lost him. Both my father George and my mom Gemma Blaisdell were very fond of Andy, and they woudl be very troubled to hear this news. I pray for him every morning and every night when I pray for my parents. I hope that they are all together now, so that Andy is not alone up in heaven. Know that we are with you, and Andy in our hearts and our thoughts at this difficult time.
Warm regards,
Louise M. Blaisdell

Fran and Justin,
Words cannot express how sad I feel about the loss of your son, Andy. I have fond memories of him at one of my Christmas parties years ago and at the PGA Golf Tournament. I recall him having a wonderful time and full of smiles and laughter. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this very tragic time.
Love,
Chiz
