Aunt Cindy,
I don’t even know where to begin. But I guess I’ll start here by saying that I’m praying for you and that I hope that you’ll keep your faith and trust in God to help get you through this because truely thats the only way that you will be able to is by trusting in God and letting him help you get through this. I know it seems unreal, or at least it does to me, Uncle Andy was like my second daddy.. He cared so much for us, alot of times I felt like that we were the kids yall never got to have. I’m really going to miss him so much, but I believe he is in a better place now, and one day I will get to see him again.. ; But I guess before I take up to much space I’ll leave you with, I’m praying for you, and ALWAYS remember to keep your faith and trust in God and when it seems as if your not going to get through it, he’ll be there to help you through it.. I love you Aunt Cindy, and my prayers and condolence are with you. LOVE AND MISS YOU LOTS…
Hey Cindy this is Daniel, I’m sorry about whathappened to Andy, but I know he’s in a better place. You are in our prayers, we love you very much. Daniel & Family
Aunt Cindy, Just wanted to give a few words of encouragement. As you go through this… Difficult things can cause us to ask, “Why did this happen?” But if were trusting in God we never need to ask “How could HE let this Happen?”.
God may never reveal ALL His reasons to us, but He has revealed His character to us. His character assures us that He never makes mistakes, He is never uncaring, and that He never separates Himself from our need.The need you face is great, but the grace that is yours in Christ is ever greater. May your heart and your faith stay fixed upon Him as you go through this difficulty. Be Assured that He is holding your hand and will not let go! I just want to say keep your heart and faith fixed upon him as you go through life everyday, not just during this difficult time. And remember God has a REASON for EVERYTHING. We love and will miss UNCLE ANDY dearly, and we know he loved us. Here is you a verse out of the bible.
Isaiah 41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Aunt Cindy he tells us plan a clear right there, that He will stregthen you and help you so your not in this alone. Just remember God will ALWAYS be right there.We we love you. Derrick and Cassie
Very sorry for the lost of a husband, son, and brother.
Keep you in my prayers.
Cindy,you can’t find the right words to say in a time like this, like I told you tonight you never know what to say. Cindy I know one person who has the right words to say and He is standing there with His arms stretch out waiting for you to come to Him so He can put His arms around you and comfort you and love you like no one else can do and that is our Great Comforter Jesus. When you think you can’t bear it anymore just whisper His sweet name Jesusquote from mom and He will help you bear it I will miss my dear sweet brother forever and I loved him so much, Cindy you was the Love of his life and you made him a very happy man. Cindy I love you, YOU are in my prayers, call if you need to talk. John and Lisa
We pray that your grief will be eased as time goes on and, that you will seek comfort in God. There you will find strength and peace. Andy will be missed dearly.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My prayers are with you. Andy and I graduated together. The one thing I remember the most about him was his ready smile and laugh. I never saw him again after graduation, but I can tell from his picture that he was still smiling.
Your family is in my prayers.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all the family.
Keeping you in our prayers.
