To Andrew's family,

It is with great sadness that I read of your loss. I was formerly Sandra Bitter, the Kdg. teacher at Raymer School. I thought so highly of your children that I had the privilege of having in my class. I will keep you in my prayers and may our God keep His loving hand on the Tkaczyk family. I think of my former students often and remember all the wonderful families that I enjoyed in my career at Raymer.

God Bless you all. Sandra Kontner (Bitter)

I am so heartbroken to hear about this. It has been a while since I've seen Andy - but I can remember all our times together just like they were yesterday. I remember one time when it was snowing so badly outside and I was driving my car down the street trying to get to the house, Andy seen that I was having problems and was laughing so hard at me. He got in and drove my car the rest of the way. He was only 14 or so at the time but what a great kid he was - the entire Tkacyzk family are great people. Everytime I was around Andy, I couldn't help but smile. I really thought of him as another brother to me. it saddens me so much to hear of something so terrible happening to such wonderful people. I don't understand why God allows these things to happen. Please know that you ALL are in my prayers. It seems like such simple words for such a great loss. Words truly cannot express how sorry I am that you are experiencing this pain again. Mr. Tkaczyk, Matt, Lisa, Adam, Tony, Jacob, Eric, Bobi, Caleb and Baby Tkaczyk - I'm so very sorry. I hope that knowing Andy is in a wonderful place, surely right side of his big brother, will bring some comfort to all of you during this. God bless each one of you.
