and

Since you've been gone my heart is blue.
But death cannot keep me from you.
For you live on My Valentine.
Your heart still beats inside of mine.

Love you both forever...

Grandma/Mom

Dear David and Andy, it is with a very heavy heart that i am writing this message with,this has been a very hard holiday season to enjoy without the presence of each of you,its very sad each and every day to cope with the enormous void that we have been left with,even though we understand that you are in a better place, for selfish reasons i only wish that one more time we could see your bright smiling faces and hear your laughter, the memories the both of you have left me I will cherish forever. Take good care of each other and we will meet again.

 &

Dave

My sweet little Andy...I want to wish you the merriest of Christmas' this year because I know uncle Dave is there with you now. I'm sure you both had a lot to talk about and I'm just happy that you have him and he has you. I'm sure he's told you how much he loved and missed you while he waited to join you. Now, we miss both of you and christmas will never be the same for me without the two of you being here with us. Take good care of each other, and until we meet again remember that I love you both and always will. I miss you and I miss uncle Dave so please let him know. Tell him that Auntie Anna is okay and so are the girls and we will do everything we can to take care of them.

Love and hugs to both of you

Merry Christmas

Grandma T.

Wishing you were here on your special day. I think about you all the time.

Love you always

Happy Birthday

Andy

Today should be a special day for you as today you'd be turning 21 and becoming a man. I just wish you were here celebrating with us, but I guess God needed you more. I find it very difficult because when I watched you being born you looked like a little angel to me, and now your still my angel.

I do hope you had a good day celebrating with all the family members who are up in heaven with you. I can only imagine how much you made them laugh, because you always knew how to make people laugh.

I miss you something terrible Andy, and so does everyone else. Please say hi to everyone for me, and until we meet again always remember that I love you dearly and always will.

Hugs and kissing are going up to you.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Love.....Grandma

Happy
 

Birthday
 

Andy

Dear Andy....we miss you terribly and wish you were here so we could join you in celebrating this wonderful event. For the past three years the joy of celebrating your birthday has gone and has been replaced by tears. I can't help remembering how happy I was the day you were born because you were the first baby I had ever watched being born. The feeling of happiness that ran through me was absolutely overwhelming, and I will never forget it because I watched a miracle happen before my very eyes. Then, 17 years later, the unimaginable happened and you were taken one week after your birthday while you were sleeping here, and I was absolutely devastated and my mind replays that day over and over. I will never forget that day either because it was the worse day of my life. Unfortunately, there is nothing anyone can do to change what took place and life goes on, but I do hope that you were greeted by other family members that I know love you as much as we do. So I hope you had a wonderful birthday celebrating with your great-grandparents, your great-aunts and uncles, your aunt Lena and uncle Raymond and Richard as well as your cousins Shelly, Pat and Micheal.

I love you Andy and I will love you forever. We miss you and we will miss you forever. You are the missing link in our family chain, and no one can ever replace you. You were unique and special, and you found a place in our hearts where you will stay for all eternity.

Happy Birthday and best wishes from all of us.
Love....Grandma

I just wanted to say thank you for making this beautiful site in memory of Andrew.  He would of loved it.   There is not a day that I am not thinking of Andrew.   Thanks for adding new photos to this site.  I copied them and put them on his facebook group site.   So all his friends can see what a wonderful young man he had become.   I wish Andrew was here today.   I wish I could change that day.   Andrew was and always will be the love of my life and nothing, no death, no baby, no marriage will ever change that.   I love you Andrew!    

Thanks again June and Andy's Grandma!

To My Child

Just for this morning, I am going to smile when I see your
face and laugh when I feel like crying.

Just for this morning, I will let you choose what you want
to wear, and smile and say how perfect it is.

Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry, and
pick you up and take you to the park to play.

Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the sink, and let
you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours together.

Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep the
computer off, and sit with you in the backyard and blow bubbles.

Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny
grumble when you scream and whine for the ice cream truck, and I
will buy you one if he comes by.

Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about what you are going to
be when you grow up, or second guess every decision I have made
where you are concerned.

Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies, and I
won't stand over you trying to fix them.

Just for this afternoon, I will take us to McDonald's and buy us
both a Happy Meal so you can have both toys!

Just for this evening, I will hold you in my arms and tell you a
story about how you were born and how much I love you.

Just for this evening, I will let you splash in the tub and not get
angry.

Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit on
the porch and count all the stars.

Just for this evening, I will snuggle beside you for hours, and
miss my favorite TV shows.

Just for this evening when I run my finger through your hair as you
pray, I will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest
gift ever given.

I will think about the mothers and fathers who are searching for
their missing children,
the mothers and fathers who are visiting their children's graves instead of their bedrooms,
and mothers and fathers who are in hospital rooms watching their children suffer senselessly, and screaming inside that they can't handle it anymore.

And when I kiss you good night I will hold you a little tighter, a little longer. It is then, that I will thank God for you, and ask him for nothing, except one more day..............
