Words can't begin to describe the love I had for this young man, just as much as I have for my own four children. Andrew was always a joy to have around and I always looked forward to seeing his smiling face when I would pick him and my son up from school. He was always so respectful and helpful and offered to help me out with anything I was or would have to do that day and I felt as if he was one of my own kids and often I know he felt the same lol.

You will be missed and never ever forgotten baby boy!!

We love you and miss you already,
