We need more entries people!

Andrew, well it just hit me that freshman orientation is coming up in a few days. You don't know how much I was looking forward to you going there and opening your locker for the first time and getting your schedule. I would have been thrilled to hear about it when you got home from the orientation even though we already knew we wouldn't have any classes together. Those little things get to me the most. I remember when we were going to the movies on March 26th(thank god for movie tickets to remember dates) you and I were talking in your moms car about your guidance counselor and what classes you were going to take. I was telling you what teachers to NOT get and we were laughing about it. How less than a month can change everything. Well although you won't be there the first day physically. I know you will be there to watch over every one who may become sad due to the fact that you are not there to celebrate your first day of highschool with them. I know I will be thinking of you the whole day and wishing we could have gone through with our plans like eating lunch together or meeting each other after every class. I'll take comfort in thinking you are there with me, even though I can't see you. I hope you are doing fine up in heaven. I miss you and love you so much. Watch over everyone please


oh and I'd like to add this as well. A couple of weeks ago the Mercurios were kind enough to invite me down to celebrate Renees birthday and your mom, dad, and Megan were there. I always enjoy seeing them and spening time with your family and the Mercurios. They give me strength.

Andrew,

It's been so hard for everyone without you. I didn't even know you but I miss you terribly. I've watched your loved ones go through such pain and it's so sad. You have touched so many people and you probably did even know it. You gave them a reason to live. Now it's clear that you just have to live life to it's fullest because you never know what your future will bring. The difference you made in peoples lives is amazing. You were the kind of person people envied and wished they could be like. Everyone down here loves you so much and I know they have told you that they miss you terribly and it's true. You were one of a kind; an outstanding person. I wish you were still here for someone to tell you that.



"Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass by you in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so. One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return."
--Mary Jean Iron


May you rest in peace Andrew

Dear Andrew,

Because I’m an English teacher, someone who loves to read and write, you’d think it would be easy for me to express my feelings through words. However, day after day I sit in front of this computer grasping for words that I know will never adequately describe how I feel. Since we lost you, I have never in all my life hurt so much, cried so much, or realized that I could love so much. Andrew, your loss left all of us brokenhearted, but your life gave us so much. I will never forget the very first time I met you way back in 1998. Jay and I hadn’t even started going out yet and I came over to watch wrestling. Jay introduced me to you- an adorable, sweet, bouncing, blonde-haired, blue-eyed 7 year old and you proudly announced “Hi! I’m Jay’s clone!” Then, I thought the resemblance was so cute. Now, I thank God for it. I see a little bit of you in Jay everyday. Sometimes it’s the way he’ll say something. Other times it’s a look he’ll give or the way he’ll smile, but each and every time I think of you. Your enthusiasm, zest, and love for life lives on in all of us. Andrew, you must know that we will never forget you and we will always always love you.

Missing you and loving you forever, Alyssa

Hey buddy,



Hey andrew, i know its two days later than your birthday, but i had went camping. But i wasn't going to let camping stop me from celebrating your birthday. I went to see your parents the morning of your birthday with John and Sarah. We had talked and shared memories and shared what we had done this summer. Andrew, your parents are the most heart-warmed people i know. The garden they have made is unbelievable...it truly is amazing, and the kries family should be very proud of the garden they put together. I think about the little things that dont really matter: like how tall u would be, how many fireworks we would set off, or how many sleepovers we would have had. I would give up anything just to see you one more time. Just to really say how much u meant to me in my life so far. You truly were the best kid ever. and i thank you very much for that. Football is coming up soon and I hope our team is pretty good. Weightraining has been tough, but im sticking through it. I could go on for days sharing our memories...but for now i will let you go so u can have a killer time in heaven with god. Im sure you and him were partying hardy on your birthday. haha.



Thank you for everything andrew, you were the greatest...



“We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of each other everywhere.”



love you and miss you

Happy Birthday my son your 15th. I am doing this for the third time so only you and I know what I wrote the first two times. Every time I get on a computer without my hammer and saw I think, what can and will go wrong. So far this time it has been apower outage after yesterdays storm and today an uninvited computer update right in the middle of my letter. Here we go.Andrew I miss you sooo much but am proud of you and all that you have done and are still doing. I will always shed a tear when thinking of you and wondering what might have been. I am never going to let people forget what an amazing young man you were. I am keeping tabs on all of your friends. As they grow up and I watch their accomplishments I will know that a part of you goes within them. On your birthday Sarah, Drew Buddy and John came to visit and talk. It was great to see them. We went to the Washington Movie Theatre for his grand opening, Your name was up for your birthday thanks to Marco. Still I wish more people were going to the theatre than I have seen so far. Our Family and Marco will be having a Fundraiser at the theatre to raise money towards Andrews scholorship fund at the end of the summer. We and especially myself want to fill the joint and make it a wild and crazy time. It was amazing how many people came to Andrews funeral but now we have a place to go and really celebrate Andrews life in a fun way like he would have wanted. It would be awesome to see everyone having a great time and would make me proud of everyone. We are going to have advance ticket sales for this event so watch for details. Remember to wear Orange. Love you Andrew. Dad

Dear Andrew, It is one hour past your birthday, and I like to think that you saw how we tried to celebrate the day you were born. You were our "surprise" baby, yet we loved you from the time you were born. I often told the story of how you were named, Dad wanted to call you Andrew, and I wanted to call you Kevin. The morning I went into labor, we were still going back and forth about what to name you, so, I made the deal that if you had hair, Dad could name you, and if you were bald, I got to name you. So when you were finally born, the doctor announced that you were a boy, what was your name? I asked the doctor, "Does he have any hair?" The Dr. was a little surprised, but answered that yes, you did have a little bit of hair, so Andrew you were! To say that I miss you with all my heart is such an understatement. You were my baby. But I try to think that I am so much richer in my life for having had you, even for too short a time. Your were a great little brother to your brothers and sister and sister-in-law, and even though we have all shed many tears over missing you, we have also shared many wonderful memories of you. I would never have wanted to not know the joy of loving you, even though I ache to see you now. I was just thinking of when you went on your first 6 mile hike with Mr. Schaeffer, and you grabbed a green tupperware out of the refrigerator, thinking it was some celery and peanut butter. When you got out on the trail and it was time to have your snack, you opened up the container and found left over green beans. When you got home, and you told me the story, we had such a great laugh. I miss laughing with you. Happy Birthday, my baby.

Hey bud,

Your finally 15 and I am still so much older than you! :-p lol, I hope your having a blast becuase I remember when I turned 15, I had a huge party and everything. It was great. Your probably having the biggest party of the century knowing you. ahhh bud, we all miss you so much, even to this day. You were such an awesome kid and I kick myself in the -CENSORED- every day for not staying closer with you. The time I spent in scouts we were always talking up a storm and basically getting yelled at for not paying attention. Hah, great times great times. Also as you may know, I'm back with the scouts as an assistant scout master, But it's still not the same without you.

Well I'll let you get back to your party. Don't do anything to crazy now!

I miss and love you andrew.
See you soon

Well Andrew today is your 15th birthday. Before we talk about today I just want to take you back exactly 5 months ago. We were at my house celebrating my birthday on February 28th. I remember we were sitting in my kitchen and I had made you some eggs and toast since thats my favorite, and we were discussing how you would always be 5 months younger than me. I guess that was my way of picking on you. I don't think either of us knew that 5 months later we all would be celebrating your birthday without you actually being here. It seems so surreal to me and many others that you aren't here. The thought of celebrating your birthday without you is just bittersweet. I'm still upset that I never got to surprise you with your birthday present which I had been saving up for since November. 2 ticket to see Dierks Bentley. Well that money is going towards your fund so you still get a birthday present. I went to your house today for your birthday and hung out with your family, John, and Drew. You were totally right, I'd get along with your family and they are so sweet. You always seemed to be right so there you go again We just talked about random stuff which I am good at as you already know and it was just nice talking about funny stories about you. Your garden is beautiful and your family did a wonderful job on it! I can't wait to see it in the spring. Well I'll let you go, your probably up there singing or doing something crazy for your birthday. Have a great one and definetly save me a piece of birthday cake for when I get up there! I love you Andrew so much . you still mean everything and more to me

Love,
Sarah(geek)


oh yeah p.s-today your dad said I could fit in with the little kids at this picture thing. I guess even though your gone, someone can still make fun of my height haha oh well.

Andrew,

Today would have been your 15th birthday. I always enjoyed your birthday because it gave me an excuse to still be able to buy toys that I was too old for. I think you usually got a gift from me that I would have wanted if I was your age. In fact, I was a little worried that you might soon start to outgrow all of those things and I would have no excuse anymore.

It is still difficult to accept what has happened. It has been very difficult to adjust. I'm still not quite sure I am there yet. I guess you never get used to the loss of someone so loved and so important to you. I still have to remind myself that I won't see you at the house. Sometimes it seems like you were just here and other times it feels like I haven't seen you for such a long time. You are still in my thoughts and in my heart throughout the day each and every day.

I know you are watching over us and know that we love and miss you.

Your brother Jay

Happy 15th birthday Andrew! I wish you could be here to celebrate it. I hope your having a big party up there. I still can't believe your gone, and there isn't one day where I don't think about you. These past couple months have been terrible, and I know if you were here you would be cheering me up, and whenever things get really tough I think about how you woud usually cheer me up, and it makes me feel better. I just wanna say thanks for everything you did for me this year. I love and miss you foreverr!!

Andrew, today should have been the day that we all got together and had cake and given you gifts for your fifteenth birthday. But because you left us so tragically, all we have left is to remain together as a family and to celebrate and remember your life. I miss you a lot, and it hasn't been easy to keep going these past few months without you. You always had a way of making things seem a little bit better, with your sense of humor and just your attitude in general. I really could have used that these past few months.

Happy birthday, Andrew. I think of you every day, and I wish you had never left us. I'll always love you, and you'll never be far from my thoughts. And someday, Andrew, I'll see you again. Keep watching over us. I love you, Andrew.

Andrew,
I miss you so much. I have to remind myself daily that you're not down at the computer or over at John's. I miss you so much and I wish I could hear your voice or your whistle from the other end of the house. I'd give anything to hear that annoying "'mer see?" And you coming out in that stupid black hat. But I have the memory forever and I will never forget.
Today, rather than celebrating with you, we will be celebrating your short life. Anyone who was lucky enough to know you became a better person because of it. I feel sorry for people who had not yet met you. I worry about when I have kids. How will I ever show them just how cool their Uncle Andrew was? I'll do my best, but I know it will never be the same.

"When you lose someone you love you gain an angel you know."

You're my angel and I know that you will keep me safe. I can feel you with me each and every moment of the day. I know you're up in Heaven having a huge birthday party with Poppop and probably making lots of boxes and camping or fishing. You were an amazing kid and I admire you for the person that you were. I will never forget my amazing little brother. You always looked out for me and wanted to keep me safe. I will forever cherish the memories I have with you: singing together in my car, building campfires in the backyard and so much more. I only wish we could have made more. I love you so much.
Happy Birthday Andrew.

Love,
Megan

Happy birthday andrew 12:07...



People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.

When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.!

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant .

Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.....Thank you Andrew<3



your 15 you old man haha



love you and miss you.



hope to see you soon.

Sweet Andrew. We miss and love you so much. I think of you all the time.
Our last conversation was plans to go kayaking together - I was so looking forward to it.
Friday we will kayak in honor of your birthday. I know you'll be with us.
