Drew Drew I cannot believe you're gone!  Even if I worked with you 8 years ago, I still remember how incredibly awesome you were!   You were so hilarious and pleaseant to work with.  To this day, I still say some of the words you used to say. I will always have a good memory of you.

Aww Andrew , for some of us we got to be lucky enough to work with you and you made us laugh and even gave us great advice about life, health and to value the great things that we do have. We will greatly miss you and your smile and your family is very lucky to have had such a great man with great style. Now you can shine from heaven as you did around us.

Andrew, you always brighten everyone's day. You took one day at a time and never let the little things bother you - You taught me to take one day at a time. Thank you for that!!! 

A lot of us appreciated your sense of humor - it would help some of us make it through our day.

Andrew - You will always live in our hearts and prayers. Our grief can be so hard; the special memories will help us get through our days.

Señor Andrew, muchos años trabajando juntos, porque te fuistes. Lo vamos extrañar mucho.  Dios lo bendiga y lo tenga en su gloria.  Con cariño - Yesi

Grandpa, I miss you more and more everyday. It's hard to realize you are gone. My heart hurts, but I will be strong for our family. You were always my rough and tough grandpa and I learned to be tough from you. I wish you could be here to meet your first great grand child in October, but don't worry just because you aren't with us anymore doesn't mean my baby won't know who you are and how amazing him/her great grandpa was. You are the best grandpa anyone could ask for and I love you with all my heart. You will never be forgotten. I know that you are now at peace in heaven with great grandma and aunt Diane. We will meet again someday and I can't wait. Rest in paradise my beautiful angel. 

You are forever in my heart I love you.

I'm so glad I got to meet you. You were always so caring and funny but serious all at the same time. Truly an amazing man. I love you and your family. I will be here for them and pray for them. "Como quisiera que tu vivieras.... " we all miss you so much. Romans 8:31 "If God is for us who can be against us. "

Dad... There are no words that can explain how much we miss you, I love you so very much and wish you were still here with us. Hearing Sophie call out for her tata has been really hard, expecting you to walk through our kitchen door. I love you and I know that we will meet again some day.

--I love you always and forever,

Flor
