It saddens me to know that Andy has passed. I got to know him and his family when I was a member of the Edinburg Congregation. He was a friendly loving brother who loved to show hospitality to others. He was quick with a smile and a joke. Janie, Andy, Jeremy and Matthew I grieve with you. May Jehovah comfort you as you look ahead to the day when you will see him again.
