EntryNo: 667  Date: Saturday 23:25 07.28.2018 Alyssa Dear Andrew, Oh, how we miss you! We miss your laugh, your smile, your stories, your hugs, and your “Love you”s. Luckily we have our memories, so many wonderful memories of trips to the movies and out for ice cream, nights spent playing Pictionary and laughing till our sides aches, campfires, hikes at Merrill Creek, sleepovers at the apartment, breakfasts of hotdogs and eggs, "Kries Kids Days of Fun", summers spent swimming in the pool and at the rope swing, firework displays, family vacations and holidays, special occasions and ordinary every day moments. We treasure those precious memories of you and although you may not be with us physically, your memory lives on. Nathan and Ben love hearing stories about “the time Uncle Andrew tried to trick the Tooth Fairy” and about all of your daring stunts and crazy adventures. I’m pretty sure they plan on recreating each and every one. Lol! We think about you every single day and love you so much Andrew- now and forever. alyssakrieshotmail.com  EntryNo: 666  Date: Monday 11:24 04.09.2018 Alyssa Dearest Andrew, Oh, how we miss you. I heard this song on the radio today and of course thought of you right away: “It's perfect outside. It’s like God let me dial up the weather. Got the whole crew here. I ain't seen some of them in forever. It's one of those never forget it, better stop and take it in kinda scenes. Everything's just right yeah except for one thing. You should be here. You'd be loving this. You’d be freaking out, you'd be smiling, yeah. I know you'd be all about what's going on right here, right now. God I wish somehow you could be here. Oh you should be here. Yeah, this is one of those moments that's got your name written all over it. And you know that if I have just one wish it'd be that you didn't have to miss this. Aw you should be here. You should be here.” You should be here, but I know you are looking down on all of us, still laughing at Jay’s jokes and smiling when you see your sweet nieces playing or your fun-loving nephews doing the same crazy things that you used to love to do. We all miss you so much Andrew and love you even more. -Alyssa alyssakrieshotmail.com  EntryNo: 665  Date: Thursday 12:01 02.22.2018 Irelynd Kiely I am learning of you. I can't imagine your family's heartache and loss of what could have been. Thank you for being a kind soul while you were here and reminding us to live life to the fullest. irelyndkiely14yahoo.com  EntryNo: 664  Date: Sunday 21:35 12.24.2017 Dad Andrew, Another Christmas and I wish you were here. You are however here in my Heart. Merry Christmas my son. I love you. Dad  EntryNo: 663  Date: Thursday 09:21 12.21.2017 Mike Another Christmas is right around the corner, and as always I find myself missing you even more this time of year. Andrea has her first ever Girl Scout meeting tonight, and she is excited to join Scouts because of how much her Uncle Andrew enjoyed it. We talk about you all the time, and while I do enjoy the memories, I miss you every single day. I love you, Andrew. andreasdaddyyahoo.com  EntryNo: 662  Date: Sunday 22:35 04.09.2017 Alyssa Dear Andrew, Thinking about you today, as always, and missing you a little bit more every day. I hope you know how very much a part of our lives you still are. Jay, the boys, and I were sitting at the dinner table the other night and Jay made a joke (slightly inappropriate of course) and Nathan threw his head back and laughed so hard, exactly like I remember you always laughing- especially when Jay was the one who had made the joke. I was instantly transported back in time and a wave of memories flooded over me. I am so grateful that in the boys I see your smile, hear your laugh, and know that a part of you lives on always. We miss you so very much and love you even more. "They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal, But neither time nor reason, Will change the way I feel, For no-one knows the heartache, That lies behind our smiles, No-one knows how many times, We have broken down and cried, We want to tell you something, So there won't be any doubt, You're so wonderful to think of, But so hard to be without." -Author Unknown I love you Andrew, Alyssa alyssakrieshotmail.com  EntryNo: 661  Date: Tuesday 12:25 11.15.2016 Mike Kries Andrew, Today has been rough. I never know when it's going to hit me all over again. Sometimes it's a song or a memory that pops into my head. Other days, like today, I can't even really put my finger on it. I just know that I miss you so much it hurts. Maybe it's that the holidays are right around the corner. I wish you were here. I wish my daughters could know their uncle instead of only knowing you through stories. I can see your curiosity in all of them. They all love hiking at Merrill Creek, and I always take them to visit you. I love you, Andrew. Life isn't the same without you. andreasdaddyyahoo.com  EntryNo: 660  Date: Thursday 20:13 07.28.2016 Alyssa Dear Andrew, I cannot believe today would have been your 25th birthday. We miss you and think about you every day. Most days we talk about all of the great memories we've shared- summer days spent swimming, tubing, and swinging across the river on the rope swing, trips to the movies, hiking, our Chicken Run date, Pictionary, sleep overs at the apartment, trips to the mall, and so much more. Occasionally we allow ourselves to think what if- especially on days like today- and it breaks our hearts. Oh what we wouldn't give to have you still here with us- hiking through the woods with the boys (they love getting every bit as muddy as you did!), reading stories to your nieces (the sweetest little girls in the world!), and laughing and joking with all of us. I know without a doubt that you are looking down on us, watching over us, and one day we will meet again. Until that day, please know Andrew that you are loved and missed and thought of every single day. Happy birthday in Heaven Andrew! We love you- today, tomorrow, and always! Love, Alyssa alyssakrieshotmail.com  EntryNo: 659  Date: Saturday 15:04 04.09.2016 MOM Dear Andrew, 10 long years ago since we last heard your voice, your laugh, your "Love you". As I often do on my kids' birthdays, reliving the day you were born, today I thought about the last weekend. Friday, you buzzed in the door after school asking if you could go play pool with John. When I offered to drive you you said you wanted to run over. Mr. Energy. Later we picked you up as you were spending the night at Patrick's house and then fishing with his father and brother the next morning. Later, Mike drove you over to see Sarah. When I picked you up from Sarah's, you were asking if you could go over to John's the next day. Later, the nightmare began when you came up the stairs complaining of chest pains. To this day I am still stunned that we lost you. You were such a bright light in our family, always the jokester even when it was inappropriate. You sure made people laugh. I can only hope and pray that Heaven is as wonderful as I read about, for you truly deserve to be singing with the Angels. Miss you, my son. Love, MOM "Life is but a stopping place, a pause in what's to be, a resting place along the road, to sweet eternity. We all have different journeys different paths along the way. We all were meant to learn some things but never meant to stay... Our destination is a place far greater than we know. For some the journey's quicker, for some the journey's slow. And when the journey finally ends we'll claim a great reward, And find an everlasting peace, Together with the Lord." Author unknown thekriestergmail.com  EntryNo: 658  Date: Saturday 00:14 04.09.2016 Alyssa Dearest Andrew, 10 years ago today we received a call that would change our lives forever. 10 years ago today this world lost one of its brightest, kindest, funniest, most loving souls. 10 years ago our hearts shattered and have yet to completely heal. 10 years ago I sat, tears streaming down my face, as I wrote these words: Andrew Sean Kries, loving, loyal, and true Such a compassionate young man through and through. You’ve touched so many lives in just fourteen short years, And now all of those hearts are breaking, eyes filling with tears. We already miss your “I love yous” at the end of every phone call And the way you’d jump right back up after every single fall. We miss our weekly family dinners, sitting around the table talking until late, And because of your love for everything the way you’d say “Wow! Look at this! Wait!” We miss your singing, your dancing, your laughter, your jokes, and that smile. We miss your hugs and the way you could make everything okay for a while. It’s rare that you find someone so special, full of energy, passion, curiosity, and love. And I feel so blessed to have joined your family, my little brother, you were truly a gift from above. Although we’re hurting and crying so because you’ve moved on, Someone who’s touched so very many lives could never truly be gone. So dear Andrew, we love you and miss you terribly, but this isn’t goodbye. Each and every one of us will you keep you in our hearts and someday we’ll join you in the sky. 10 years ago today we lost you Andrew and not a day goes by that we don’t think of you. You live on in our memories, in the stories about you that we pass onto our children, and of course you live on in our hearts, always and forever in our hearts. I love you Andrew! Alyssa Alyssakrieshotmail.com  EntryNo: 657  Date: Friday 17:42 04.08.2016 DAD Andrew, Tomorrow it will be ten years since you left so quickly for Heaven. Not a day goes by without you in my thoughts. Oh how I do wonder what you would have done here given the chance. I think lots. My way of dealing with it is to still think that your up in Heaven doing big things. When I join you some day then I will see for myself. You are missed here by all who knew you and honored in many ways. I will always remember the joy you brought us. Always in my mind. Love You My Son, Dad  EntryNo: 656  Date: Thursday 08:57 02.25.2016 Alexa I read your story and I am sorry for your loss. It is a very sad situation which reminded me of a local High School student's recent passing. Gone too soon. alexayenchagmail.com  EntryNo: 655  Date: Thursday 16:58 07.30.2015 Donald Henry I thought it would be right for me to say Happy Birthday. I'm a few days late and I hope that's okay. I find it funny that you're a little older than I. I always thought I was one of the oldest in the class. I've never been one to keep this long, but I'll say that I miss you and I'll continue to miss you.  EntryNo: 654  Date: Tuesday 21:58 07.28.2015 Dad Andrew, Happy Birthday son. Think of you all the time and always will. You were a gem. Love Dad  EntryNo: 653  Date: Tuesday 00:02 07.28.2015 Mike Happy birthday, Andrew. I miss you and love you. andreasdaddyyahoo.com  EntryNo: 652  Date: Friday 07:19 04.17.2015 Jay Hi Andrew, 9 years sounds like such a long time when some days it still feels like we were just riding to Robotics together on our last Saturday together. I still miss you every day and carry you with me everywhere. jkriesgmail.com  EntryNo: 651  Date: Thursday 20:15 04.09.2015 Alyssa Dearest Andrew, I just can't believe it has been 9 years. Nine years since we heard your laugh, saw your smile, listened to your stories, hugged you goodbye. How can nine years feel like an eternity on one hand, but just like yesterday too? I remember so vividly so many of the memories we have shared- nights spent playing Pictionary and laughing till our sides ached, trips to the movies and out for ice cream, hikes at Merrill Creek, sleepovers at the apartment, breakfasts of hotdogs and eggs, "Kries Kids Days of Fun", campfires, summers spent swimming in the pool and at the rope swing, firework displays, family vacations and holidays, special occasions and ordinary every day moments. I feel so blessed to have met and fallen in love with Jay so young because it gave me so many precious years with YOU too! Although you may not be with us physically, your memory lives on. Nathan and Ben talk about you all of the time. They recognize you in pictures and love hearing stories about all of "Uncle Andrew's adventures" and hilarious moments. We all carry you in our hearts, Andrew, and love you so very much- now and forever! Alyssa alyssakrieshotmail.com  EntryNo: 650  Date: Thursday 18:06 04.09.2015 MOM Hello my son, It was nice to see a few new entries on this site. I started crying yesterday when I got a message from the Opdyckes, they know how much we miss you as they also lost their son. I can't believe it has been nine years, you would be a grown man now. Dad and I see some of your friends occasionally and it makes us miss you so much. I believe you are in a beautiful place free of pain, but I sure do miss you. I like to picture you running with Raven,she used to love to run when I took her to Boy Scout camp to pick you up. Be happy, my son. I miss you. Love, MOM thekriestergmail.com  EntryNo: 649  Date: Thursday 14:46 04.09.2015 Mike Stewart Its been 9 years but it seems like yesterday, your not forgotten Andrew! mike721gmail.com  EntryNo: 648  Date: Thursday 06:51 04.09.2015 Mike Andrew, It's hard to believe it's been nine years since we lost you. I think of you every day and miss you more than words can say. Andrea is starting to really enjoy playing with Legos, and that always makes me think of you. I wish you could have known my girls. I love you, Andrew. andreasdaddyyahoo.com  EntryNo: 647  Date: Wednesday 21:52 02.25.2015 Gunnar Tyler Henning Such an unfortunate conclusion to so much untapped potential. You will be missed. gunnartyhenninggmail.com  EntryNo: 646  Date: Wednesday 21:23 12.24.2014 DAD Andrew, Merry Christmas to my son and pal. Still miss you and everything that made you special. Love you Dad  EntryNo: 645  Date: Friday 20:00 09.05.2014 anonymous I have found myself multiple times over the course of 8 years on this page. I usually start to type something and then delete it after writing. I only met you a few times and it didn't take long to see that you were someone so special. Someone who had the ability to make anyone smile or laugh. You were a really amazing kid, and you would have been such a great man today. Your family should be so proud of the boy you were because you were something so special.  EntryNo: 644  Date: Monday 23:49 07.28.2014 Dad Andrew, Another birthday has come. You are missed more than ever. So much has happened and I just wish you could have been able to have shared all of it with us. All your friends are finishing up college and going out into the world. I think they all are taking a part of you with them. You will soon be an uncle for the fourth time and they are all loved so much by mom and I. They lost out on the great times being with you would have been. However they will always know about their uncle Andrew. Mom and I always are thinking of all your crazy antics like pulling out the deer teeth to put under your pillow for the tooth fairy and the little sales you would have selling your brothers and sisters things back to them. Such great memories we have of you are the stuff that warms our hearts and keeps us going forward. We always know you were here and did impact not only our lives but so many more. Andrew your life made a difference in so many. I think you look upon us and see that for yourself. You were something special and I always knew it right from the beginning. Thanks for the memories. I love you. Dad  EntryNo: 643  Date: Wednesday 21:44 04.09.2014 MOM Hello, My son. Today marks the eighth year since we lost you. You are always in my heart. Everyone who writes on this page is so eloquent and when I sit down to write I just freeze. All I know is that I miss you. You really were a fun kid and you taught us all that life is not to be taken for granted, love those around you and love life. You were a terrific son, brother, friend. You embraced life with a zest that was infectious to all those around with an energy that just kept going. I remember picking you and Patrick up from JLT and you had found an injured bird that we put into a box to take over to Rocky Springs Animal Hospital. The two of you sang songs that you had learned in camp all the way home. You filled the truck with such happiness that day. Though I miss you so very much, I'm so glad to have had you for my son. Love you, Andrew thekriestergmail.com next page »
