Andrew,
Another Mothers Day passed by. Your Mom misses you sooo as we all do. Always you are with us still at all of our family gatherings. Thanks for making our family so wild and crazy your short time here. That I just loved about your personality. It was so much fun to sit back and watch you act up with your brothers and sisters. Now I know they realize how cool you were as I always did. Andrew thanks for being just the way you were. Love you Son.
Dad

Hey Andrew, it's been a while since I've written anything on here. Not too long ago it was two years since you left us, and it's still really hard going on without you. I still miss you every day, and I would give anything to see you again.
Next month, Tom and Mary are getting married, and they've told me they intend to light a candle in your memory. They miss you too; we all do. I don't think that I'll ever again be able to go to any kind of special event like that without wishing you were there with me.
I love you, Andrew. I'll see you again one day when it's my time. Until then, keep the Legos and airsoft guns ready. We'll have a lot of missed time to make up for. I love you, little brother, and I miss you every day.

Hey Andrew.
Today it's raining, and I'm not sure why, you were brought you to my attention. But I don't think that's what matters, it just matters that I'm able to talk to you this way. Everyone has trouble in life, whether it's friends, relationships, family, or personal experiences that get in the way of the importances, that we try to life for. Everything seems so confusing, as I grow up, and decided who I want to be. I bet you went through the same thing, right? You are always wondering what other people think of you; what you want to do once your done with school; or will I regret that? Questions always slide into my mind, and it's hard to decide what's the right thing to do. In the future, I hope for the best, of course. I want to be someone that other people will trust, and remember; like you. Well enough about me, let's talk about you. I never met you. You never met me. I wish we could have sat down for at least an hour, and talked, just about everything in our lives. We probably would have had a lot of common. I know your family, and friends miss you a lot. It's a horrible thing... that happened. As I read all of the messages, poems, and stories, It's just like I am meeting you, for real!
How is heaven? Nice up there, I bet. Free food; nice people; you probably can watch the re-runs you missed down here, or home videos that can remind you of the family you look down to. Do you cry a lot Andrew? Do you wish that the people who write on your page, everyday, that you could have met them? I wish it, that's for sure. Maybe I am asking to much. Sorry buddy. Well I love to write, it became a big part of my life. In fact, I'm going to try to write something about you, soon. Once I finish this passage, I'll go grab a pencil and paper, and write... write... write; all about you, and who you seem to be like. Well, I know what love is; and I know I would have loved you. I hope your family knows that I've had a similar experience happen to me. So, if they need someone to talk to they can e-mail, or hopefully use my letter to you, as a encouragement. I know they miss you, but they're glad you gave them a fantastic memory. Well, Andrew Kries, your an amazing person. Good luck with the rest of your life. As they say, "You never pass away, God just changes your clothes". Believe in your future, Andrew. Be positive, it always works.
Idol; Friend; Hero, whatever you may be to me, now, is what you'll still be, once I meet you. I don't want to leave Earth now, but when I do, let's chat.
I can't wait Andrew.
Love,
Grace

Not a day goes by when I don't think of you. John turned 16 - he woke to a morning of missing you alittle more then usual. I have watched him grow to a man over the last two years without you and I realize you have taught him so much and his biggest lesson learned was from you leaving us... he cares and loves and does not take for granted much (except maybe his grades..which I know you understand). I laughed when I started writting this because where I have to put my name I put Barbara and chuckled because you always called me Mrs. Mercurio (Even though I would not answer you!!). I thank you for the gifts you have given us and for watching over John. Love, Mrs Mercurio.

I havent takled to Mrs. Kries about you in a while and tonight i am sitting here, and I cant stop thinking about you. I always wonder what it would have been like to meet you, and I know it would have been great. You are always on our minds. I hear that it has been two years. It seems so long but yet it is so short. . I just wanted you to know I am again and always thinking about you.

Hi Andrew,
It was such a great life we had the Kries family. I knew how lucky we were. Now two years later and that life is so changed. As hard as I try to go forward it is so difficult to do. Your missed every moment and I think of what you would be doing with all of us. It always makes me understand why you lived life the way you did, always enjoying every little thing most take for granted. Thank you Andrew for so many great memories and for being yourself. Miss you my son.
Love Dad

Andrew,
Time is a strange thing. 15 years sounds like a long time. And yet, the almost 15 years we were blessed to have with you now feels all too short. The 2 years that have passed since you left us have been both terribly long and strangely short. At times it seems that I haven't see you in a lifetime and I miss being with you. At other times it still feels like you might walk back into the room at any moment.
Not a day goes by that I don't come across some reminder of you. I see and feel your energy in many places and I know you are still with us in many ways.
I still miss you terribly and I think I always will. There are some holes that just cannot be filled. I will carry the memories of your life and our time together for the rest of my life.
I love you, little brother.

Andrew,
It's been two years and we still keep expecting to see you when we come over to visit your family. We went to the cemetary today and it still just doesn't seem possible... We think about you and talk about you often. You and your family are always in our prayers. We know in our hearts that you are with God and that you are well, but it still hurts and we miss you so much.
We know that you are at peace and we pray that your family will find peace in that fact. We love you, Andrew, We love you A. Heather, U.Kenny, Megan, Micheal, Jay & Alyssa.
Never Goodbye, Just see you later.
Love, Shannon, Sean, Braden, and Carter

Andrew,
I remember when we would talk about how long a week was with out seeing each other. Every Sunday was a week long goodbye. It has been two years since you left us all, and this has been the hardest goodbye of all. I see something that reminds me of you every day, it is a comfort to me and reminds me that somewhere up there you are watching over every one of us. You've probably seen how much we've all changed over the years. We've gotten older, and our lives have changed. One thing hasn't changed though and that's our love for you and all you did through out your short but truly meaningful life. Today I went to both your house and your grave. I hung out with your parents and Megan, and as much as we talked about life, we talked about you. I love seeing the smile come across your familys face when a story is told about you, it really is nice to see them happy and laugh about memories. I miss you Andrew, and still sleep with your picture next to my bed, and it's there to stay permanently, just like your place in my heart.
Miss you

Andrew,
Can't believe it's been 2 years already..still feels like first grade again. I'm sorry we lost touch a bit when i moved away in third grade. but we still have all those memories from the years i lived there! they were some pretty good ones. you definitely made a mark on so many people's lives, and that is a hell of an accomplishment. you left this world so young, but god only takes the best. i find myself thinking about where you'd be today..and how things would be different if i hadnt moved..but now we all can look forward to seeing you again someday. and that will be a great day for so many. rest in peace andrew

Well today marks the day, its been 2 years since you left this world and a lot has happened. Latley I've been wearing that Orange Band with your initials on it and I never forget who you are or what you did. this morning couldn't help but think about you and all the things you did in 8th grade. I looked around at school today to see any Orange Rememberance wrist bands but I was dissapointed to only see one. Jeff has never taken it off and it shows that he is a friend who would never forget you. I know i may not have known you that well but I can't help but feel that I can't forget you either. You made a big impact on a lot of people's lives and they will never forget it.

You were our "surprise" baby. Born 3 1/2 weeks early, you came rushing into our lives and we couldn't have loved you more! Your curiosity for all things kept you (and us!) always on the move. You were a gift that we weren't allowed to keep, but the beautiful memories of your smile, your singing and dancing, your inventions, your total zest for life are still fresh in my heart. 2 years in heaven, miss you so very much, my son.

Andrew,
It's been two years and it still doesn't seem real that this could ever happen to you. I never thought I could miss someone so much. I would give anything to have you back in our lives. Luckily we have countless memories that can always bring a smile to my face when I need one the most.
The other day "Indian Outlaw" came on the radio. I don't like the song at all and I never have, but you probably liked it enough for both of us. I can't help but listen to it now and think about you. I remember the time that you put the song on as loud as it would go and you danced around the house in your huge indian head-dress. I laughed so hard and the song still brings a smile to my face thinking about how much you loved it.
People always say that you don't know what you have until it's gone, but we knew what we had. Jay, Alyssa, Mike, and I were so lucky to not only call you a brother but a friend. We loved spending time together, like when we had our "Kries Kids Extravaganza!" Things like that will never be the same without you, but we will take you everywhere with us in our hearts.
You were never afraid to tell us you loved us in front of your friends or anyone else. I remember at a party as John's house once in front of all of your friends and their families, I put my arm around you, instead of pulling away and being embarrassed, you just gave me a hug and said, "I love you, Meg." You always told us you loved us and I will always remember this incredible lesson.
When Mom was pregnant with you and I kept telling her you would be a girl because I wanted a sister so bad. She kept telling me that you would be a boy, but I was sure that I would have my little sister. When Mom had you she called Mike and me at Grandma and Grandpa's house to tell us that you were indeed a boy. I was so upset that I hung up on her! But you won me over immediately and made me happy that I had another brother. I loved you as soon as I met you and I am proud to call you my brother.
I miss you more and more everyday. I love you, Andrew.
Love,
Megan

Hi Andrew...Just want you to know how much I miss you. I think of you so often and hope that you are ok.Your dad was right about you taking a piece of everyones heart with you. As kayaking season approaches I wish we could have carried out our plans to go kayaking together, it would have been so much fun. I love you Andrew and cannot tell you how much your Aunt Lynn misses you.

We did not have the honor of knowing Andrew. I can't imagine the pain and void y'll must fee. I am so very sorry. I have very strong faith in God, and I'm sure Andrew is there: happy,no sadness, no pain and no disease. From experience, I know that you may know this intellectually, but it doesn't always make the heart feel any better. P.j., age 13, my daughter, age 20 and myself have 2 strains of Lyme disease. I know the disease well. I guess there is one thing I would like to share with you, Mom, Dad, and family.
I've had this disease for 18 years and have become totally disabled. I am in constant pain, very weak, lost a lot of my cognitive abilities. I only tell you this because, I KNOW Andrew would not have wanted to live this way! Maybe the Lord took him as He knew what Andrews' future was and dicided not to put him through that. I pray that you all can take even a small amount of comfort in this. I know the pain never goes away; it just gets easier to hide. But, I know what his future would have held and so does the Lord. Where he is, he does not have to go through any of this.
Again, I am so very sorry for you lose.
Janet and P.J.

So many things reminded me of you this week. I think of you each day, but the signs just seemed to be everywhere. I like to think that's your way of reaching out to us to remind us you are still around.

to the kries family,
i know i'm not the most important person and some of the things i say might not matter the most to you out of all of andrew's friends but i wanted you to know that i think of andrew all the time. i kept him in my top on myspace even tho it was hard to see him smiling like he always did. it hurt in my heart to know i wouldn't see him (on earth) again. but i was reading something mr kries said about people not posting as many messages but trust and believe mr. kries that noone has forgotten about andrew maybe they haven't sent as many messages lately but i promise you your son will not, can not, ever be forgotten or replaced in our hearts ,souls, and memories. i can't explain to you how good of a friend your son was to me.
i hope your family is doing well.
happy new year, Edward (E.J) rudolph
