Andy's Funeral April 27, 2009

The last two days have been very difficult. I have seen and done so much crying that it doesn't seem possible. A friend dies too soon and there is no cure for the ache left inside. I almost smirk as I write this because how can I talk about my pain compared to the pain his wife and children must feel and his family and close friends. I hope they they know we are all praying for them...The wake and the funeral were difficult but very lovely. Andy looked so peaceful as he laid in his last resting place. The heartache observed was almost too much to bare. The funeral was very touching. The weather was beautiful as if God smiled upon Andy's family so they can say goodbye on a nice beautiful day...as beautiful as Andy was... There were so many people who showed up. So many people loved him. He was truly a great human being to have touched so many lives. He leaves behind a legacy of being a great husband, father, relative and friend but most importantly as a great human being who had to gift of always making you laugh...this is how I will remember you Andy; with a great big smile on your face. Rest in peace...
