It’s only God who can give the strength and courage to go through this kind of trial. This isn’t the end of the story and we don’t know the end of the story or how many people are being touched by it. The impact of Andrew is touching each of the members of your family and many others—-more than we will ever know. Do we understand? Can we explain this untimely parting? No. But the Lord declares, “My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways… My ways are higher …and My thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8-11). Our love and prayers are with you, Marilynn, and with your beautiful daughters.<br /><br />Dick and DeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7491618421776820528.post-37412661063788241592011-11-30T11:44:05.462-08:002011-11-30T11:44:05.462-08:00I'm so sorry to hear this Marylin.

To me, Andrew was an idol and a person that was truly larger than life. I’ve never met anybody that had as much compassion, intelligence, and confidence as Andrew. I still remember our one-on-one coaching sessions together and he had the ability to make you feel that you could do anything in the world. He’s someone that I’ll never forget and will forever be inspired by. <br /><br />Rest in peace Andrew,<br /><br />ZackAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7491618421776820528.post-49209489426569792772011-11-30T03:36:40.233-08:002011-11-30T03:36:40.233-08:00so very sorry for your loss it is truly an awful c...so very sorry for your loss it is truly an awful cancer we lost our 17 year old nephew josh to this on 3/11/2011 and its heartbreaking peace at last andrew thoughts and prayers to all your family xxjane jonesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7491618421776820528.post-50052892422002676812011-11-29T19:55:33.598-08:002011-11-29T19:55:33.598-08:00We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your precio...We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your precious son and brother.

I was fortunate enough to know him as a teenager and be his teammate. He was one of the most positive people I've ever met. He was also one of the funniest. He knew when to be be serious and lead from the front, but he never left out time to have fun. I haven't spent as much time with him over the last few years as I would have liked, but I will always think of him as a friend and I will miss him very much for the rest of my life.
