  5. Lucy,we are friends of "your father" Jack Jones, who has kept us updated on little Andrew's progress. We have prayed for him and all his family. We were so upset to hear about his passing when we thought after a month he would be alright. God only knows what this is all about. Our prayers will continue. We will be making a donation to one of your selections. We wish we could do more to help ease your pain. Warren & Jane Gay

  6. Dear Gene and Becky:

    I have been following along as you have updated all on your beloved Andrew.

    I was away over the week-end and came home this evening to find that Andrew had passed.

    Ironically he passed away on my Birthday, so I am deeply saddened by your news!!

    Hopefully you got to hold him for awhile.
    Andrew was blessed to have you both for his parents.

    No words can comfort, as our family had a similar loss, but my family and I pray for some peace to all of you in the coming days.

    It was a joy to see his sweet face and for you all to share a bit of "Andrew with us all!!

    Please know that we will continue to embrace you!!

    Love to all of you!!
    Angie

    Our hearts are heavy today and we are sorry that we will not be able to share in celebrating Andrew's life with you tonight. Please know that our thoughts are with you and Andrew. We will be remembering his quiet and brave spirit. We will also be holding you in our thoughts as you travel this hardest of journeys.

    We will be making a donation in honor of Andrew to one of the suggested charities. It is the only thing we can do, and we want to do something to mark his precious life. We hope it is a small comfort to you to know how much Andrew was loved.

  21. Becky and Gene,
    Thinking and praying for you both today. I'm sure Andrew's service was a beautiful testament to his sweet and brave spirit. He took after his parents in that way, as you two have been so brave and such an example of love throughout this journey.
    Praying now that the God of all comfort would hold you tightly in His arms as you grieve and hold each other.
    Know that there are so many of us out here who love you and are holding you up in prayer.

  22. Dear Hobbs Family,
    I know there are no words that can ease your pain right now. I pray that God will hold you close and that you may feel his strength and love surround you. Just know that Andrew is playing with Harley and that my granny has them both. She always said she hoped there would be a nursey in heaven. My prayer are with you both.
    Resa (Harley's granny)

  23. God looked around His garden and found an empty place.
    He then looked down upon the earth, and saw your tired face.
    He put His arms around you, and lifted you to rest.
    God's garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best.
    He saw the road was getting rough, and the hill wee hard to climb.
    So He closed your weary eyelids, and whispered "Peace by thine".
    It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone...
    For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.

    Chelsea, Robert and Little Angel Vincent.

We are grieving with you because you gave us the privelage of loving him. Love Aunt Sandy and Uncle Ken
