24. What a beautiful rose, and a lovely tribute for a caring, lovely man.

I remember attending my first funeral around age 12 or so, when my maternal grandmother passed away. My father told me, do not be sad or upset when good people leave your life. They have added much to what you are now. They will always be with you, and be a part of you, no matter what.

Andy has contributed and added much to the lives of many here on DU. He will always be a part of DU, no matter what. 🌹
