Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers as we try to get through this difficult time. As you know we were able to go to the funeral home yesterday to make the arrangements and Liz and I went to the church today to set everything for the funeral mass up. I want to especially thank the people who have stopped by my moms house. Jeff and I have been staying here with Gracie, as well as Liz and Phil. My Dad has been over often as well. It is a lot easier being around people, and is nice to be able to look through pictures and share funny stories about Andrew. I cant begin to express how much we all miss him already. Andrew had a heart of gold, he never complained about anything, even while dealing with all his medical issues. Andrew touched so many lives in his short 19 years, more than most do in a lifetime.Andrew will be missed by so many. The neighbors, the Romanczyk's, Donahue's, Allens, all stopped by yesterday as well as Jessica and Terry, Uncle Matt and Aunt Markie, Jessica stopped by again today, along with a visit from Jenn and Annie (Old St. Raphael's Friends). One of my best friends Tonia stopped by today also to drop off a huge bin of scrapbooking supplies to be able to get the poster boards done for the funeral. Words cant express how greatful we are for all of you.

Even though at this point Andrew had lost control of his left arm and leg he still was able to go tubing, without any complaints of how hard it was.
