EntryNo: 317  Date: Friday 22:50 10.20.2006 katelynn spanish class isn't the same without you. i miss you andrew.  EntryNo: 316  Date: Wednesday 16:45 10.18.2006 Andrews Dad Andrew Hi my son. Well it's been over six months now and I am still shellshocked. I have not forgot about you for even a moment as your beautiful smile is burned into my mind. Mom and I went to the scout meeting this past week, Pat and Evan got their Life badges. Pat is going to do a trail in your honor for his Eagle Scout project. Of course we will be helping him, so watch out for us. Pat showed me a beautiful shadow box with your picture in it. It now hangs in the scout room. My son I again thank you for all of the proud moments you gave me at that room. Wwll in 18 days I get my 2 new Knees,Look out for mom while I rehab. Then I have big plans to build a greenhouse so I can grow our own flowers for your garden. We will see. Forever thankful for our time together, Love Dad  EntryNo: 315  Date: Saturday 19:27 10.14.2006 Mr. DeGeorge I saw the entry Sarah wrote earlier and it inspired me to write on here which is something I haven't done in a while.I miss Andrew a lot. He was a nice addition to our family. He was the kind of boy that every parent--especially a father-- wants his daughter to date. I often think about what we might have done had he lived. I thought about he and I watching football games;especially the Giants and Eagles,and having a really fun time. He liked camping (hey, he was a scout wasn't he)and so did I. Sarah is not a camper;but with me and Andrew outvoting her, I was looking forward to all of us (me, my wife Sarah and Andrew going hiking or camping). I was also looking forward to getting to know his family as well because I could see how great of a family Andrew came from by his respect to others and personality. Indirectly, he was the son that I never had. And he was a great kid--the only boy who ever called me MR. DeGeorge--and meant it. For that I thank his parents who raised him as I raised Sarah:to be respectful of adults. I miss you Andrew.  EntryNo: 314  Date: Tuesday 14:05 10.10.2006 Someone who cares... Andrew's mom, The name of the book is Dear Zoe and was written by Philip Beard. I hope it provides the information you're looking for. I also hope you know that your family is always in my prayers. Ever since the tragedy, I've had a completely different outlook on life. Things that i never would have given a second thought about, i now stop to ponder. What has happened has really changed me and i wanted you to know that your son kept on making a difference even after his death. God bless you!  EntryNo: 313  Date: Monday 18:58 10.09.2006 Emilee andrew. i miss you more and more everyday. these past six months have been horrible without you. i love and miss youuu emdancer84yahoo.com  EntryNo: 312  Date: Thursday 23:10 10.05.2006 Andrew's MOM This is a message to the person who wrote on 9-27 about a book they read about a person losing a sibling. Could you please give me the name of the book? It sounded intesting and I'm trying to read what I can about how people deal with their loss. Thanks for your touching remarks. WE so appreciate all the loving thought sent through the website. hkries06yahoo.com  EntryNo: 311  Date: Wednesday 17:35 09.27.2006 Someone who cares... This one's for Andrew's family rather than for Andrew. I was reading this book that i picked out from the library and it's about a 15-year-old girl who lost her 3-year-old sister to a hit-and-run driver. She was having such a hard time accepting everything so she hid from it all. I wanted to share the last paragraph of the novel with you because i thought it was really meaningful. "Remember how i said nothing changes everything? I think i was wrong about that. I'm starting to think maybe everything changes everything. That we never know what's going to happen next and we're not even suppose to. Maybe 'Z' is the shape of everyone's life. You're going along in what feels like a straight line, headed for one horizon, the only one as far as you know, and then something happens, maybe something good, maybe something terrible, or maybe just something like seeing a guy picking out a cantaloupe at the store, something that feels like nothing, and all of a sudden you're headed at another horizon altogether. Good things can happen that you did nothing to deserve. Bad things can happen that aren't really anyone's fault. And it's sad how, if you let yourself, it's so much easier to think about what you've lost instead of what you have left. I'm not saying everything's okay, because it's not. We will never, ever be the same without you. We have our good and bad days as a family, and you will always be the invisible center of both. But love is this really powerful thing that everyone's got if they'd just learn how to accept it. I mean, come on. If it's something we all have to give, and if it's something we all want, doesn't that mean there's exactly enough to go around?" I dont know if it's as meaningful or helpful to you since you didn't exactly read the book, but i felt it was appropriate. I hope it help alittle. God bless you!  EntryNo: 310  Date: Wednesday 08:39 09.27.2006 christina andrew, we miss you so much...i know that i really didn't know you but we i know that you were loved very much by so many people...we miss you andrew. christina southboundangel90yahoo.com  EntryNo: 309  Date: Sunday 09:31 09.24.2006 Michelle M.

I never knew Andrew but i heard about this site from one of andrews friends. I myself have a heart problem and am at risk for the very same thing andrew died from i get Echos and EKGs done a regular basis to check for problems. I'm sorry for your loss and hope you all hang in there. ren49953yahoo.com  EntryNo: 305  Date: Tuesday 21:36 09.12.2006 Jay Andrew, I just found a picture of us from my last graduation that I didn't realize I had saved on the computer. It is still hard to believe and even harder to accept that you won't be there at future events, accomplishments, and celebrations. We still miss you so much...  EntryNo: 304  Date: Tuesday 08:54 09.12.2006 The Bodine Family To the Kries Family, It has taken me 5 months to finally write something to the family. I never had the chance to meet the family but I have never felt so touched by a loss such as yours. I still remember getting the call from a coworker at Hackettstown Hospital (I am a pharmacist at the hospital) on that Sunday evening April 9. I was told of the sad news, but did not know Andrew.I then contacted my son Eric on his cell phone to ask him about Andrew. When I heard in Erics voice how upset he was, I started to feel the pain. I soon found out everything about how wonderful Andrew was. First I found out from my friend Pam Mercurio how wonderful your family is,I since have gotten to know John Mercurios family.My son Eric had played football for Washington Twsp. and we are friends with the Vanderhorns, Matt A, Chris Weslowsky,Chris Buthman,Perillos, and even the Adams Family. Basically the Washburn Ave crew. Then my husband is working at your house. (Sorry that he did not realize the house was Andrew Kries house) He does not listen to me at all.. He finally realized that his mother grew up next to your house.(which I had told him previously) Some where along the line the Bodine and Kries are related. I had tried to organize some kind of tribute to Andrew at the eigth grade farewell dance last spring. I just wanted to let you know that everyone that had know Andrew share part of his spirit. I was so touched by all the support of the Warren Hills Middle school 8th grade class at Andrews services. Everyone seems to think that the Middle School kids are a rough crowd, but they all pulled together to support one another in their time of sorrow. I think there class had a tough lesson in life at an early age. They were very lucky to have Andrew as a friend and classmate. I do believe that the Warren Hills Class of 2010 will shine quite a bit brighter due to Andrew Kries.... With Love, Michele Bodine and family bodineracingcomcast.com  EntryNo: 303  Date: Monday 17:35 09.11.2006 Jay Andrew, Today is the 5th anniversary of 9-11. I was thinking about it the other day and it occurred to me that you were the first person I talked to after everything happened. I remember driving home from college after we found out what had happened and how bad everything was. I had called the house because I was afraid you guys went into the city that day and no one answered the phone. When we got back into town, I called again and you answered. I can remember my voice shaking when I talked to you because everything was just so overwhelming. I was so relieved to hear you on the other end of the phone. Wish I could hear your voice again now...  EntryNo: 302  Date: Wednesday 22:49 09.06.2006 Mike Andrew, I started back at Warren County Community College yesterday, rather than Kean. It's something of a new beginning for me. I think about you every day, and it seems that I can't go more than a few minutes without something reminding me of you. I saw The Omen when it was in theaters, and at one point a guy got skewered by a spear and someone in the audience shouted "WHOOPSY!!!" like in Mortal Kombat. It seemed like something you would have said. I went on the rafting trip in the spring, and that made me think of you a lot too. You definitely would have loved it when Patrick and I sunk the raft on the last set of rapids. I miss you a lot, Andrew. We all do. My friends and I still talk about the fun times we had with you, when you hung out with us playing Airsoft or for movie night. I love you, Andrew. I can only hope that someday I'll get to see you again. mikey_kriesyahoo.com  EntryNo: 301  Date: Tuesday 09:26 09.05.2006 Mercurios Andrew, Tomorrow is the first day of school for John and Sarah. And I can't help but feel that I have missed more then anything you and John together this summer. Funny thing happened a few weeks ago - I ran into the bank and found your parents and of course we talked and talked...and when I got home John and Renee wanted to know if I ran into your dad!!! LOL. The end of this summer is more then just an end of a season - it's the end of our first summer without you. And so many 'firsts' to go. I guess I just wanted you to know that any parent would be proud to have you as their son's friend and how lucky I was that you were John's best and were able to make such an impact in such a short time. I thank you for that. Keep an eye on Sarah too and be there for her as she moves on in her life. Love, Mrs. Mercurio  EntryNo: 300  Date: Monday 22:11 09.04.2006 Robert Backus I only have one memory with Andrew but that was enough to tell me all about him. When I met Andrew we were at the robotict's compitition at vo tech. After we compeated for a while, we all headed out side to play foot ball and just take a break. We passed the ball for a while so I got to know him a little bit. From my frazzled memory of that day at the school, the thing that sticks out in my mind was that he was very funny, kind, and athletic he would laugh at my joks, and I at his. he would compliment my throws and my catches, and would help me up if I fell. Atleast we all know that he is in a better place, R.I.P. ASK (Andrew Sean Kries)  EntryNo: 299  Date: Saturday 23:28 09.02.2006 ciara hey idk u but i know ur uncle here in dexcatur and he showed me ur site so i thought id sign the guest book for respect lilsisciarahotmail.com  EntryNo: 298  Date: Saturday 17:34 09.02.2006 Mary Jacob wow i don't know where to begin, andrew was such a great kid. He alwyas had a smile on and always put a smile on your face. Once at a school dance he and i were talking, and i had told him somthing, and out of know where he said yes sir outlaw. I will never forget it. Sence then he has always called me outlaw; i miss it. My twin brother and Andrew were also very good friends i rember the day we found out andrew had passed i looked right into my brothers teary, blood shot eyes and just broke down into tears. I will never forget the feeling. all my love, Mary tuffgirl119aol.com  EntryNo: 297  Date: Friday 19:20 09.01.2006 Melissa Buschinski Patrick Ruddiman and I have been best friends for four years. When I met Andrew, we all became really close. It's because of Andrew that I am as close to Pat as I am. Without Andrew, I would be at a loss of a great friend. I thank Andrew for bringing me close to Pat. Thanks Andrew. We miss you. Fired_up_fairyhotmail.com  EntryNo: 296  Date: Friday 16:50 09.01.2006 Jen Only the good die young. Everyone misses you. Sarah's love for you will always be in her heart. R.I.P. A.S.K.  EntryNo: 295  Date: Friday 04:46 09.01.2006 A caring girl.. It's such a horrible thing to find out that you've lost someone so close to you. Although, I didn't know you, Andrew, & I couldn't possibly imagine the pain your parents are feeling due to the fact they've lost a child. You seemed like such a happy, caring person with so much to offer the world. I wish I'd known you or atleast met you. You were my cousins friend and I really wish I could've met you.. You seem like you were such a wonderful person. God bless your family & friends.. I cry just looking at this website.. I can't even begin to imagine how I would be if I actually was close to you.. You seem to be extremely loved by everyone. You would've made it far in life. I believe there's a reason for everything.. God needed you to come to him because he knows what a wonderful person you are & he wanted you to watch out on all of your family and friends.. In time, they will all be ok. Now, I cant assure that but I'm sure they understand as well as I do that you served your purpose and lived your life as well as you could. You touched the lives of everyone & you'll be in there hearts forever. That's something to be proud of. Everyone loves you. Hope you're doing ok up there. I pray for you & your family. God bless all of you. Andrew's Family ; I am terribly sorry for the loss of your son. Please understand though that he is in a better place. I can't imagine what you're going through but I understand that it must be so hard. You are all so strong. I've lost loved ones of my own & I know it hurts.. everything will be ok though. I don't want to sound so naive and modest about his passing, because I don't know EXACTLY what you're going through. I've never lost a child.. I am only Andrew's age. But I understand that death claims the life of the ones we hold dearest in our lives.. you cannot control it.. everything happens for a reason. God Bless you all. Good luck. Please remember.. God only takes the best.. "For everything there is a season, And a time for every matter under heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing; A time to seek, and a time to lose; A time to keep, and a time to throw away; A time to tear, and a time to sew; A time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate, A time for war, and a time for peace." "The idea of death, the fear of it, haunts the human animal like nothing else; it is a mainspring of human activity - designed largely to avoid the fatality of death, to overcome it by denying in some way that it is the final destiny of man." - You probably understand this quote.. So, do not fear that you will never see him again.. you will. It is only a matter of time..  EntryNo: 294  Date: Saturday 13:34 08.26.2006 Andrews Dad As summeris coming to a close and school starts back I realize Andrews school days here are over. However his lesson to all of us will live on forever. So now he teaches all of us full time. Andrew left sooo much behind for everyone. Now as hard as it will get for any of us here we can look up and know Andrews watching and one of our little sayings to each other was I don't handle dissapointment very well. So If you love Andrew as I do always remember that all the good things that you do will make him smile. I am wanting him to smile. I know Andrew had a real impact on my life, and those he knew. He always made me feel good about myself the greatest gift a child can give. I miss his concept of all the great things I could and did dowith no problems. He could surely make you feel good about yourself. He would tell me that I could do anything. I miss those words so much and the look in his eyes that he just knew you could. Andrew will always be my motivator as I go thru the rest of my life. Again Thanks to everyone for thinking of Andrew. I have found great joy and pride reading this site, so don't be afraid to write amessage as it does help everyone. Andrew was to the Kries family like the Sun, the center of our family by his choice. He had taken a piece of Jason, Michael, Megan, Alyssa, Mom, and me along with his special parts and blended them along with all the good people he came into contact with to become Andrew whom I called the sponge. So If your feeling a little lighter know the sponge took a part of you with him that was good. But don't worry he only took love and I know those people have love to spare as I have seen first hand their love overflowing. As time passes on I have to give a special thanks to Sarah for her entry, it was very nice. I love you and am proud of you Andrew Dad  EntryNo: 293  Date: Thursday 21:03 08.24.2006 Some one I have visited this site a few times. What a wonderful memorial to a fine young man Who has a beautiful family. If you didn't get to spend a lot of time knowing Andrew yo sure do after reading all of the messages. He touch alot of people in his short time down hear on earth. Love to all who knew and those who didn't get a chance. « previous page next page »
