Recollections & Sympathy For the Family
Post Comment
I just found out the death of John " Andy " Andrews who, along with my parents, raised me and I spent many happy years with him, Agnes, and Boy and loved them all like family. I am ashamed I did not get to see him before he passed to say thank you for making me the person I am today. I am also broken hearted I did not make the funeral.
I think of him a lot and know him to be a good man so if there is a heaven he is there now making it a better place,.
