I’m glad you’re at a point where you can treasure the memories and have gratitude for your friendship. I hope you can reach a place where you smile when you think of Andy.

I can smile over the memories now, but sometimes it's through my tears . . . This is going to take some time.

Andy left behind quite a legacy and from your photos and memories we all got to know him,too.

Wishing you continued peace, comfort, and beautiful memories of your precious friend.

His legacy will go on for a while, as long as we who knew him, are here.

He was a remarkably talented man, with a big heart and a smile to match.

You've got it exactly right: he was indeed my precious friend.

seem to be walking forward.
Hugs to you.

Losing Andy was the biggest loss of my life so far.

I suspect the fact that I was an RN helps me cope. Hospitals are full of death. Of course, losing a loved one is a lot different than losing a patient. But the loss still gives me perspective and there is healing in that.

Thank you for the hugs!

Some of the best things we can leave behind are memories in the hearts of others.

RIP AndyS.

And I so agree about the best things we can leave behind.

The pain of his death will never leave, but it will grow weaker as the memories of shared joys and humor grow stronger.

I do feel as though I'm on the right road. The early days were full of my tears and feelings of disbelief.

I still have both, but much less. Being able to talk about the loss really helps.

I tend to have a sunny, optimistic outlook, and I think that will come to be more dominant as the days and weeks roll past.

Hugs and peace to you.

I appreciate your good wishes! They truly help me cope.

there for people. I hope you can soon think back on your friendship and enjoy the memories of the good times.
