Cheryl, I am so sorry for your loss. Andy was a long-time friend of mine. He was my best buddy at work and he was always there for me whenever I needed him. We have waxed many cars together. I will miss him. I am sorry I cannot be with you during this time as you were there for me when John and my Mom recently passed away. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love Eileen Jupiter, Florida
Andy was a friend to many, but to my husband, he was the “best friend” They are surely looking down from Heaven and still “goofing” on people. Bonnie M. Courtney
cheryl, there are no words that can express the grief you are feeling at this time. When you called me this morning to personally inform me my heart felt heavy. Ted and I will always remember when you two would come to visit how much he enjoyed the cheese and super sud. He was a good friend but more importantly we saw how much he loved you. I am sure when he got to heaven Bill said what the heck are you doing here. Although we cannot be with you at this time I promise we will be there for you when we get back home. We send our love and prayers to you. I know your faith in God will carry you through this difficult time. love always peggy and ted
